So I'm guessing are you building on an ARM environment? Because this is getting triggered arm*) mkdir -p usr/lib/plexmediaserver && tar -zxf package.tgz -C usr/lib/plexmediaserver/;; Maybe the mkdir command on your system isn't working? Try to manually run as root "mkdir -p /usr/lib/plexmediaserver"

was running plex previous version without problems. I removed the package, was going to install this one now, but was getting error below: plex-media-server]$ makepkg -e ==> Making package: plex-media-server 1.3.3.3148-1 (Tue Jan 3 18:38:08 CET 2017) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> WARNING: Using existing $srcdir/ tree ==> Entering fakeroot environment... ==> Starting package()... cp: cannot stat 'usr/lib/plexmediaserver': No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package(). Aborting... I made it work using "makepkg -Acs" instead of "makepkg -e" now it is working again, thanks!

I'm not sure how everyone's startup scripts are getting munged, but that's why there is this line in the file: EnvironmentFile=/etc/conf.d/plexmediaserver Make sure your /usr/lib/systemd/system/plexmediaserver is the one from the package.

@TimoVerbrugghe I ran into the same issue. The libaries were set properly already, but for some reason I was only able to start plex using the following command: /bin/sh -c 'LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/plexmediaserver /opt/plexmediaserver/Plex\ Media\ Server' Eventually I figured out how to make it work with systemd, by replacing the ExecStart line with: ExecStartPre=export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/plexmediaserver ExecStart=/opt/plexmediaserver/Plex\x20Media\x20Server Hope this helps!

@tmoore: If a firewall was blocking it, it would probably not work with one form of execution and fail with another. It only works when run manually, not from systemd

looks like it was the base-devel - thanks guys your champs I appreciated your patience and kindness to a noob like myself!

You may also want to clear out your cache by running "sudo pacman -Scc" and rm -rf /tmp/yaourt* Again, try and do "yaourt -S prelink" first. If you never get that to work, plex won't work either. Any issues with the plexpass version will need to go over on their board.

@reubendevries, do you have "base-devel" installed? If not, that would be your problem.

Is there a way to re-download or clear my cache. I tried downloading the prelink again by itself and it didn't work, also when I tried and download the plex-media-server-plexpass version I get a slightly different error here is the steps I take 1. yaourt plex-media-server 2. Choose which build I choose 2 3. Edit PkgBuild - I choose N 4. Edit plex-media-server.install ? - I choose N 5. Continue building plex-media-server ? - I choose Y 6. I get the error output ==> ERROR: Cannot find the strip binary required for object file stripping. ==> ERROR: An unknown error has occurred. Exiting... ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build plex-media-server-plexpass. and install goes into loop where I can only cancel to proceed. Maybe I need to try re-install the entire OS, not 100% sure, maybe it's my OS...

@reubendevries, your issue is with the installation of prelink which is a dependency of plex. I recommend you find prelink here on AUR and manually install. I saw no issues when I tried re-installing using yaourt earlier, so I think you might have a corrupt prelink download.
