The linking folders and PATH setting is the problem in the PKGBUILD in your pkgbuild its looking for a tmp folder that is not there in where pkgbuild installed maldet to /usr/share/maldet , and cant download to the folder why dont you just install the maldet package using the install file from the git repo and let the install file set the directorys ## git repo working maldet -d Linux Malware Detect v1.6.2 (C) 2002-2017, R-fx Networks <proj@rfxn.com> (C) 2017, Ryan MacDonald <ryan@rfxn.com> This program may be freely redistributed under the terms of the GNU GPL v2 maldet(5780): {update} checking for available updates... maldet(5780): {update} hashing install files and checking against server... maldet(5780): {update} latest version already installed.

I've installed maldet from github and it works fine Its as you said the PKGBUILD has a problem I'll look into trying to fix the problem with the PKGBUILD

@vendforce: there are two errors: • line 1844: the "too many arguments" leads me to think maybe the folder contains more than one file, so the expansion produces one more argument. badly written if this can happen • line 1850: it calls $inspath/maldet, which is very hard to debug without looking at all the inner workings of this software. quite surely is a following error from the first, where changing directories failed. looking at these errors I realize there is no way I'll debug this. Ever. Discouraging everyone from using and deowning…

@vicnat: thank you, fixed.

Initially not able to execute because when installed inspath variable in /etc/maldet/internals.conf is set as /usr/share/maldetect but maldet is installed in /usr/share/maldet Edit internals.conf or doing a ln -s /usr/share/maldet /usr/share/maldetect solves the problem. Maybe should be possible to add this correction to the package build file to patch the internals.conf pointing the correct directory.

thank you for the hint, it is updated now. also, the package has been completely rewritten. please test if it works for you as well.

Please update to 1.6. And is 1.6 safe to use now?

@Tharbad: thank you for this hint, i was not aware of this. still, i would be much more interested to see them implementing an appropriate installation method. anyone skilled in writing makefiles? they could certainly need that.

It's appears that the development is now on github: https://github.com/rfxn/linux-malware-detect
