[Linux] Fedora RPM package for F17-F19

[leamas]

Current method to install the spotify rpm is based on the rpmfusion lpf-spotify-client package. Basically, this automates the process of downloading, building and installing a spotity rpm based on the official Debian packages.

EDIT: Bug reported (page 19), temporary work-around published.

EDIT: New solution based on the rpmfusion lpf-spotify-client package. Old  method deprecated but still available.

EDIT: updated for new upstream release: 0.9.4.183.g644e24e.428-2

EDIT: Solution updated for 0.9.1.55.

EDIT: Downgrading procedure to 0.8.4 published

EDIT: Update header to include F19

EDIT: Solution updated for 0.9.0.133

EDIT: updating link

EDIT: new solution for 0.8.8 published.

I followed the step by step but can't seem to get this to work. I have Fedora 23, installed RPM fusion, installed lpf-spotify-client, launched it, saw the build. Everything went fine but now I don't know how to launch the app or if there's anything more I should do? Also ran lpf-update on the command line to make sure it's up-to-date.

Thoughts?

Do you get these log messages if you run it at the command line?

[rich@tyler ~]$ spotify

If so you need

libgcrypt.so.11

 You can do this using this command:

sudo dnf --repofrompath libcrypto,http://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/red/libgcrypt.so.11/fedora-23-x86_64/ install compat-libgcrypt --nogpg

I then also needed to link the file in /lib64/spotify-client

sudo rm /lib64/spotify-client/libgcrypt.so.11
sudo ln -s /lib64/libgcrypt.so.11 /lib64/spotify-client/libgcrypt.so.11

Then it worked.

Most of this info is from this RPM Fusion Bug, thanks to Sérgio for input and guidance there.

As I was fighting with this, I continued looking for solutions and stumbled upon http://negativo17.org/spotify-client/

It worked immediately and IMHO it's a much more straightforward solution.

Can confirm.

The solution at http://negativo17.org/spotify-client/ worked effortlessly for me on F24 x86_64.
