# OpenROAD Build From Sources
Subcategory: Compilation error
## Conversation
### sebinho
Hello Guys,
I am using ArchLinux and I have been using OpenROAD from an install package from the AUR.
This install does not seem to work anymore (it was working on my setup a couple of weeks ago).
So I am trying to build from sources but I get the same errors as I get with the AUR package:
```

Seems to be something related to Swig with TCL. Does anybody know what the problem is?
Thanks for your help
### maliberty
What version of TCL and swig do you have installed?
### maliberty
Perhaps something is different in 4.2.1 as with 4.1.0 I don't see any used of Tcl_Size in tclSwig.h. Is it possible for you to downgrade?
### stefanottili
Does anybody know how to downgrade swig on MacOS M1 homebrew ?
The current SWIG Version 4.2.1 causes the same error here.
Can be worked around by commenting out the two offending lines, they seem to be in an error path ...
