Hi, I have tried to do the Offline Installation as described in the ArchLinux wiki, but it did not worked out as i have mentioned in the thread http://stackoverflow.com/posts/comments/12588344. Hence i have planned to compile the pacman in a machine which has internet connection and then download the packages using the compiled pacman binary and then transfer it to offline ArchLinux Machine. While i tried to compile the pacman in Ubuntu-11.10 machine i got the following errors $ make # after ./autogen.sh && ./configure make all-recursive make[1]: Entering directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman' Making all in lib/libalpm make[2]: Entering directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm' Making all in po make[3]: Entering directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' test ! -f ./libalpm.pot || \ test -z "ca.gmo cs.gmo da.gmo de.gmo el.gmo en_GB.gmo es.gmo fi.gmo fr.gmo hu.gmo it.gmo kk.gmo lt.gmo nb.gmo pl.gmo pt.gmo pt_BR.gmo ro.gmo ru.gmo sk.gmo sr.gmo sr@latin.gmo sv.gmo tr.gmo uk.gmo zh_CN.gmo zh_TW.gmo" || make ca.gmo cs.gmo da.gmo de.gmo el.gmo en_GB.gmo es.gmo fi.gmo fr.gmo hu.gmo it.gmo kk.gmo lt.gmo nb.gmo pl.gmo pt.gmo pt_BR.gmo ro.gmo ru.gmo sk.gmo sr.gmo sr@latin.gmo sv.gmo tr.gmo uk.gmo zh_CN.gmo zh_TW.gmo make[4]: Entering directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' : --update --lang=ca ca.po libalpm.pot rm -f ca.gmo && : -c --statistics --verbose -o ca.gmo ca.po mv: cannot stat `t-ca.gmo': No such file or directory make[4]: *** [ca.gmo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' make[3]: *** [stamp-po] Error 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm/po' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman/lib/libalpm' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/talespin/archlinux/pacman' make: *** [all] Error 2 I have cloned the source from git://projects.archlinux.org/pacman.git and tried compiling with the commit e6f72c61a098b52ea29e54b8eb4739a2ff81e6b0 and its parents(until commit ae25167bcd592186749b79ea31b10fb78ed9fb2d) with no success. Any ideas. Br, Talespin
