I'm trying to install some packages form yaourt.

For example :

yaourt compiz

But it gets me following error:

[hamed@localhost ~]$ yaourt compiz
curl error: SSL connect error

Please tell me what's wrong with yaourt?

    Apparently, your government doesn't want you accessing the AUR. – jasonwryan Dec 6 '13 at 18:52
  • I don't think so. Because I can open this link aur.archlinux.org and download packages. – Hamed Kamrava Dec 6 '13 at 18:56

    Another Iranian user has complained about this in the past. Either install from AUR manually or, if you want to keep using yaourt, use a proxy. – jasonwryan Dec 6 '13 at 19:07

This problem apparently occurs for Iranian people.

The Solution :

You have to replace yaourt-ssl3 and package-query-ssl3 instead yaourt and package-query.

Firstly you need to uninstall current yaourt and package-query by following command :

sudo pacman -Rsc package-query

And then install ssl3 :

curl -O3 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/pa/package-query-ssl3/package-query-ssl3.tar.gz
tar -xf package-query-ssl3.tar.gz
cd package-query-ssl3
makepkg -cis
cd ..
curl -O3 https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ya/yaourt-ssl3/yaourt-ssl3.tar.gz
tar -xf yaourt-ssl3.tar.gz
cd yaourt-ssl3
makepkg -cis

That's it.
