It looks like gkrellm is no longer available in Arch repositories…
It is only available from AUR, but that requires cloning gtk2 and compiling it…
Which probably explains why it isn’t in the repos anymore. 
That’s very sad 
By the way, it’s available from https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/gkrellm so I was definitely wrong in Trying out Aurora - #37 by lorebett
You also get GUI applications from Homebrew (when available).
However, also in this case, that formula drags in lots of dependencies, including bzip2 that’s already installed in the system.
Those dependencies installed via brew will have the precedence over the ones installed as packages… I’m not sure this is a good thing… 
Honestly, I was testing something from AUR that brought in gtk2 the other day.
I was surprised at how quick of a build it was.
mh… define “quick” please 
Maybe I stopped the compilation too quickly…
OK, I tried (the gkrellm-git version because the standard aur one is out of date andd does not compile); in the end it’s about 10 minutes (mostly for compiling gtk2), not bad after all

Oh, and today they fixed also the gkrellm AUR package to 2.5.0 so now that compiles fine as well!
