  Build information:
    source code location   : .
    prefix                 : /usr/local/pacman
    sysconfdir             : /usr/local/pacman/etc
       conf file           : /usr/local/pacman/etc/pacman.conf
    localstatedir          : /usr/local/pacman/var
       database dir        : /usr/local/pacman/var/lib/pacman/
       cache dir           : /usr/local/pacman/var/cache/pacman/pkg/

$ ./src/pacman/pacman
error: config file /usr/local/pacman/etc/pacman.conf could not be read:
No such file or directory
