Permission Denied while building

arkansawdave74 · 12 February 2021 14:55

Hello everyone. This is quite above my head I think. I’ve got a pretty fresh install and tried to build guiscrcpy from AUR. I get a permission denied. I’m going to put the whole output.

[arkansawdave@missi ~]$ yay -S guiscrcpy

Then this morning I see pamac telling me of an update from AUR for python-pynput. I immediately wonder if it will fix my building problem and try to update it, but I get this in the Pamac output:

Can anyone tell me how to fix it? I can’t even begin to figure this out. Thanks so much.

@arkansawdave74

sudo pacman -Rdd python-pynput && yay -S python-pynput

Yochanan · 13 February 2021 20:56

Do a clean build of both packages:

yay -S --rebuild --answerclean All python-pynput guiscrcpy

arkansawdave74 · 14 February 2021 21:38

Thank you. That helped to fix python-pynput.

and thank you. That resulted in the permission denied again, but must’ve fixed something because right after running it the Pamac gui was able to build it.

Thank you both very much.
