Error trying to install fbsplash [SOLVED]

Hello there great Arch comunity!

I've installed Arch a few days ago in a virtual machine and lest night I got it to work directly on my MacBook Pro as a base OS (man that was an experience and a half) but now i've come to a roadblock I can't get through.

I am trying to install fbsplash from the AUR. I've downloaded the tarball and the pkgbuild, renamed the pkgbuild to fbsplash.install and issued a:

 makepkg --asroot -s 

But it's giving me this error:

 ==> Error: splash_start_initcpio.patch was not found in the build directory and is not a URL 

I did a google search on that error, then on just the file itself but turned up empty. Any ideas?

Please read the wiki on how to use AUR, you're doing it wrong.
