If I run yaourt with sudo then this option works, but not without. Why is this?
Just give rwx permissions to your user for "/var/abs/loca/" directory. It should work

ummm... /s\/loca\//\/local\//?
Obviously.

Thanks.

I find yaourt quite useless for the moment as to installing and upgrading packages - the only use of yaourt is to see what packages are installed with yaourt -Su --aur. Then I guess it is better to go to AUR and create a dir and wget the packages and run makepkg.

or try pkgman - see my signature.

Sounds interesting - but there is not much info about that pkgman - just your word ;-)

So why is it useless? What about building from AUR - it's working fine here.

I kinda like yaourt myself.

It refuses to install -svn packages from AUR and the editing of PKGBUILD and .install is chaotic.

A problem I have with the newest yaourt is that it seems impossible to view what packages can be upgraded from the AUR without first updating the whole system. In previous versions it proposed first to updade the base system (probably by launching pacman -Syu) but I could reply no and it then check the aur. Now if reply that I do not want to update the base packages; it simply quit without looking at the aur.
A good idea would be also to put package built from the aur in /var/cache/pacman/pkg (it is very useful in case we want a downgrade).

anyone else having problems installing mercurial packages?

I think yaourt lacks the possibility to build recursively (with dependencies instead of just installing them normally with pacman).
Offline
I think the recursive build was corrected recently?

Is there any way to change the orange colour here? The numbers are pretty much illegible on a dark background.
I played around with yaourtrc Colormod settings and only managed to change it to blue colour. Which doesn't help much either.
Using yaourtrc with powerpill and pacman-color.
Thanks in advance!

Change you .Xdefaults colors
Add this to ~/.Xdefaults (create it if it doesn't exist)

Hmm.. not sure what I'm doing wrong but I nothing's changed. Same goes for root account. Anything specific to look out for?

How do you get yaourt to recursively build dependencies? I cant find the option anywhere.

Oh. I'm on konsole. Does that matter?

Yes, well, it means that my solution can't solve your problem. May be in Konsole there's a way to change default terminal colors. You should check in Konsole option.
I can't really help you now 'cause I never used Konsole and I don't wan't those KDE dependencies...
Ask in the Desktop Environments sub forum if there's a way to change Konsole default colors, like we can do with xterm and urxvt.
