Install Build Errors - 'cmake' various packages

Support AUR
1

For several weeks (months?) my installs are failing for build packages… notably krunner5 but recently when trying to install some libraries…

Seems to be related to ‘cmake’ not working? (I re-installed cmake package - to no avail)

How about you remove the cmake in .local/bin and use the system one?
It may be wise to rename the whole .local/bin folder, in case there are more messed up things there.

That package is no longer in the repositories due to the upgrade to Plasma 6. You should uninstall it, as it’s not needed for anything.

libarib25 is an AUR package, and I have no idea what it is or why you would need it, but check whether you have cmake and cmake-extra-modules installed — both of those are in the Manjaro repo.

This was a good fix…

That is not wise at all. I should not have to explain why.

That is wise, indeed. However, it should be removed the same way it was installed.

What’s this? What did you do? :thinking:

How and why this is happening?

This has been reported on 2 my AUR pkgbuilds (all different people) and I’m starting to get curious

7

:wink:

8

I mean, why people end up with ~/.local/bin/cmake

9

Because they installed it locally for whatever reason. :man_shrugging:

I just tell anyone that complains not to mix local and system packages. Not our responsibility as AUR Package Maintainers to say anything else.

Because they installed it from Download CMake like Windows trained them to do :stuck_out_tongue:

renaming cmake in .local/bin fixed my issue

12

i see that cmake is an installed package, if i uninstall it then will there still be the ability to run build installs?

13

The stuff you have in /home/admin/.local/bin don’t come the package installed from the repository

pkgbuilds that need cmake to build will fail if cmake is missing

I think he means “if I remove ~/.local/bin/cmake”. Which he should, given that it’s installed system-wide already.
