Just installed the new updates (including AUR) and on a desktop that already had tdom installed it was updated fine; but on a laptop that did not have it installed, it failed to install it for the first time because of a rmdir error at the end of the piece of information below.
I realize that it is an AUR package and this forum does not support those but my question is, Would you please let me know if this error indicates it is a problem with the AUR package or an error of mine?
Thank you.

tcl and gumbo-parser are the dependencies that need to be present for this.
It’s easier with yay - likewise no problems: yay -S tdom
I don’t have pamac installed anymore and thus cannot try and test with that.
This AUR helper is sometimes unreliable …
One reason for your failure could be that Manjaro (pamac) doesn’t access the AUR directly (from what I understand)
but uses a copy of it - and this copy might not be current and the same as the one presently in AUR.
Sometimes I have found that, if an AUR package fails to build successfully, then removing any old build files & then re-attempting the build will fix the problem:
I tried @scotty65 suggestion first and the result was the same error.
Then tried @Nachlese suggestion (the yay version because don’t know how to install a package directly) and it failed with the following error which I think means that tcl9.0 is required; and the Manjaro repo. does not have it yet.
I forgot that this is the machine on which I tried to install tcl9.0 and critcl and tcllib2.0 but couldn’t get all three to work together and deleted them. Perhaps I messed something up along the way. Tcl8.6 still runs my scripts and now have tcllib 2.0 but not critcl.
Thank you.

I had tcl installed already - on an otherwise fully up to date base system.
(the tcl from the standard repo - not something from AUR)
I ran yay -S tdom
and it built successfully.
I then explicitly installed the dependency: gumbo-parser - which was already there from the try with yay
I downloaded the PKGBUILD as I described - unpacked it, changed into the directory, ran makepkg - it again built successfully.
It dosn’t rely on a specific version of tcl
You seem to have version 9 installed in your $HOME - and have it first in your $PATH.
The “normal/repo” tcl is never used, it seems.
no - neither Manjaro nor Arch have tcl version 9 in their repos
Thank you. That must be something I messed up in trying to install tcl9.0. It installed but critcl kept using tcl8.6 and I couldn’t get it right and tried to delete it but must’ve overlooked some important items.
At CLI running tclsh, puts $tcl_version output is 8.6.
I need to find what other files/directories need cleaned.
I tried to figure out how to change TCL_LIBRARY but could not. I read that it is not an environment variable and it was not available in Tcl $::env(...).
So, I uninstalled all Tcl/Tk and items that depend on them and then reinstalled them.
After that tdom installed successfully.
I suppose that was the idiot’s approach but it appears to have worked.
I have a lot to learn about installing outside of the package manager using the PKGBUILD directly. It appeared to work for each individual piece of Tcl9.0, Tk9.0, critcl, and tcllib2.0 but I couldn’t get them to work together and failed to clean up properly. That must’ve changed where tcl_library points.
Yes, but I notice that you don’t have /usr/lib/jvm/default/bin in there. Maybe it’s because of something I installed and you didn’t, but it seems odd. It’s needed for Java support.
The files in that directory come from the package java-environment-common from the repo, which itself is a dependency of jdk-openjdk.
Thank you for pointing that out. I have java-environment-common and java-runtime-common installed as dependencies not explicit; thus, there must be something installed that needs Java support but I don’t recall what that might be. I don’t code in Java.
