Arch Linux User Repository

I got stuck at "node install.js" when I tried to install it with pacaur. My Arch system is up-to-date. Does anyone encounter the same problem?

Can we make NPM dependency optional? I'd like to install & update npm by myself without pacman.

I added it to fix the failing post-install step:
https://github.com/evolus/pencil/issues/397

I don't know if this is the best/perfect solution, suggestions or other fixes are welcome.

I noticed this change in build script, can someone explain why it's needed?

```
- HOME="$TMP_HOME" npm install
+ HOME="$TMP_HOME" npm install --unsafe-perm
```

Latest version should have all the required dependencies.

Missing dependency: gconf

```
$ pencil
pencil: error while loading shared libraries: libgconf-2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

# pacman -S gconf

$ pencil
Hardware acceleration disabled for Linux.
Background web-printer started.
RENDERER started.

Hi,

I am facing the issue discribed in the post here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=226598

It is probably not an issue with the packaging since I also have this issue with the upstream sources. But maybe there is something to set-up during the installation. But no idea what...

Let me know if it is not the right place to warm this kind of issue and I will delete this post to not create confusion. But maybe something has to be done during the installation process...

Thanks for the help,
Salvatore

Tried again with the latest commit and it works with and without a home directory
thx

Yes, it got stuck at the same point. But with your latest commit everything works fine.
Thanks a lot for your effort. Cheers.
