And yaourt doesn't *just* install packages... Which was your problem. yaourt was acting as a wrapper around downloading the AUR PKGBUILD and running makepkg. Which was why you decided to use it. ;) It is advisable to get familiar with the process of building and installing AUR packages by hand, and only when you are sure of what you are doing, then use a convenience wrapper. -- Eli Schwartz
