make: *** [Makefile:30: compile] Error 9
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

Since building only occurs with AUR packages:

[HowTo] Fix a failing AUR package build

Difficulty: ★★☆☆☆ AUR packages, contrarily to packages available in Manjaro’s repositories, need to be built locally in order to be installed. And as any process, that building can also fail for various reasons. Technically, what are hosted in AUR are not packages but PKGBUILDs, scripts describing how to build packages. For more details, see: PKGBUILD - ArchWiki As its name implies, the Arch User Repository is a community maintained repository towards Arch Linux…

@mdc1773

but never noticed my konsole has a Lock

Because you changed into the parent /home directory, in which your user account lacks write permissions.

What does that have to do with your original problem of PKBUILDs from the AUR failing to build?

[mdc1773]

your right nothing to with it…
so how do i fix PKBUILDs and AUR

nothing on google seems to work

@mdc1773

so how do i fix PKBUILDs and AUR

More context and information is needed.

It’s the equivalent of saying:
“None of my video files play any sound, no matter which video players I use. How can I fix it?”

i have some unfinished jobs that won’t rebuild for some reason

[winnie]

@mdc1773

so I’m trying to install remmina with Yay

Does this problem occur for any PKGBUILD you try to build from the AUR, or just remmina-git?

[mdc1773]

let me check so i was able to install google chrome via yay so maybe this occurs when installing remmina / remmina-git

[mdc1773]

any help?

[winnie]

With what?

I asked you a question to better gauge what the underlying issue might be, and you have yet to return with a clear answer.

@mdc1773

so maybe this occurs when installing remmina / remmina-git

Does it? Did you confirm?

If it’s an issue specific to the PKGBUILD of remmina-git on the AUR, then this means it’s not an underlying Manjaro problem, nor even an issue with Arch Linux, yay, the AUR in general, nor Pamac.

This entire thread is becoming a test of patience and guessing. Perhaps you mean well, and I don’t doubt that. But I’m not sure how to continue.

@mdc1773

remmina

it’s in the 'Community Repositories why do you need the AUR version?

[mdc1773]

i guess I’m not understanding so you expect me to know the exact problem when i don’t dude I’m following this post

@mdc1773

i guess I’m not understanding so you expect me to know the exact problem when i don’t dude I’m following this post

The fact that this was easily solved by using an official package in the repository is a clear example of the “XY Problem”, which is one of the tips on how to ask for help:

The XY Problem

Your original post starts off with:

any time i yay -S or install anything i get this

(Emphasis added.)

When in fact you could have started with something more clear and accurate, such as:
“I’m unable to install remmina-git from the AUR. It gives me an error and then aborts. I need to use Remmina.”

Immediately I, or someone else, would have replied with: “Remmina is available in the official repositories. Install it from there.”
