Spotify not working

English Multimedia

Just installed spotify-installer from packman, the progress of rpm-build and installation went successfully. But it failed to run, here goes:-

yazid@linux-lanun:~> spotify
./spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

In order to get the missing dependency, the said libgcrypt.so.11 obtainable from the OBS by following this post here http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.suse.opensuse.devel/59726 and http://software.opensuse.org/package/libgcrypt11

But now I have another problem as below:-

yazid@linux-lanun:~> spotify
./spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libudev.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Where can I have the libudev.so.0 ? Currently I am using 13.2 and Gnome as per my siggy. Thanks.

ahh… forgotten about OBS http://software.opensuse.org/package/libudev0

solved.rotfl!

You are my hero. With your help, it worked for 13.2. Thanks!

For libudev.so.0 you can just create a symlink to the existing libudev.so.1.4.0, Spotify will work well too.
You still need the old libgcrypt pagckage instead.

I am trying to re-install spotify since a rebuild to 13.2 and running spotify-install I get

hi there, see the post by thermopyle on October 22, 2013 and tell us if that is working

Thanks thermopyle that was the missing bit… that built the rpm and the other library dependancies here installed it.
Spotify now fully working again
