I tried installing aur/xfig 3.2.8b-2 but got building error. I read in similar aur failures that permission issues may cause the problem, so I took the chance to try yay -S xfig as root and the result was the same. Is there any other way to install besides yay?
yay -S xfig
-> Avoid running yay as root/sudo.
