I'm trying to install teamviewer from the AUR. I've grabbed the tarball. Extracted it. cd'ed into the "teamviewer" folder. And now ...

I'm fairly new to PKGBUILDs though the one or two others I have done succeeded.

I can't figure out where the symbolic links are coming into play. I see no explicit attempts to create a symbolic link in the PKGBUILD file.

I'm running makepkg as a normal user.

Thanks.

What type of filesystem is this operation being done on? Ivsaw similar errors when trying to build a package on a vfat filesytem, which can't handle symbolic links. Makepkg creates the links as part of the build process...you wont see them in the PKGBUILD. Also you need to have write permissions in the directory you're working in.

Well I'm still new enough to remember struggling with seemingly simple things like that :-) Glad I could help.
