Hi,

A quick investigation tells you should add this option to the
./configure script (in the PKGBUILD):

--localstatedir=/var

Or /run, as you wish. Default one in the current PKGBUILD is /usr/var. From the `help`:

  --localstatedir=DIR     modifiable single-machine data [PREFIX/var]


Sincerely,
