pacman error
Executed pacman -S and I get the following error.
config: line 26: syntax error It was working until I attempted to upgrade pacman. I guess using pacman to upgrade pacman was a bad Idea. Any ideas on what I can do now. Regards |
actually pacman -S doesn't do anything. you need to run apcman -S foo (foo is for example the name of the program you want to install) or pacman -Syu to upgrade your system. try that.
running pacman -Q pacman will show you if you have pacman installed. |
Actually I would still get the same error using pacman -S foo. As a matter of fact I got this error returned for any pacman command. I grabbed the tar.gz from archlinux ftp site and did the configure, make, make install thing. This almost fixed it except that the new pacman got installed into /usr/local/bin and the old corrupt version in /usr/bin was not touched. I removed the old version in /usr/bin and created a link point to /usr/local/bin.
That seemed to have fixed the issue. Regards, |
for installing pacman in /usr you had to do
Code:
./configure --prefix=/usr |
