I cloned yay through git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/yay.git. I Enter the directory and run makepkg -sic but I unfortunately get the error:

Are you getting the error consistently? If so, it looks like the host you are using to build does not have access to GoCenter.

  • I actually did. Finally I had to give up and use one of the previously compiled instances. – nino Oct 27 '20 at 18:23
  • i would also try doing a `go get github.com/Jguer/go-alpm/v2` from the host to see how it is behaving. When i did it locally, i found that the `/v2` directory wasn't existing in the source of the go module and it always defaults to `github.com/jguer/go-alpm` – arvind Oct 28 '20 at 16:16
  • I ran `go get github.com/Jguer/go-alpm/v2` and this is the output: `cannot find package "github.com/Jguer/go-alpm/v2" in any of: /usr/lib/go/src/github.com/Jguer/go-alpm/v2 (from $GOROOT) /home/nino/go/src/github.com/Jguer/go-alpm/v2 (from $GOPATH)` – nino Oct 28 '20 at 19:15
  • Make sure you are in module mode by doing `go mod init` first and then run `go get github.com/Jguer/go-alpm/v2` . I see GoCenter was able to serve it (no timeouts) but there is a build error because of another dependency. May be the module author should be notified about this. `fatal error: 'alpm.h' file not found #include ` – arvind Oct 29 '20 at 16:20
  • I'm actually pretty much unfamiliar with the concepts you mentioned. I checked again and, to my surprise, the installation file had been actually created despite the error and I managed to install yay with it. Thanks for your help! – nino Oct 31 '20 at 19:54

exec: "gcc": executable file not found in $PATH

check prerequisites. see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ar … Repository

But most of the time there is a problem with gcc, which can be solved in the following way :

  1. pamac install base-devel
  2. choose a gcc number from list
