Installed spotify-client-0.8.2.637.g252b980.486-2.x86_64.rpm - this is converted from the .deb package that is downloaded from: http://repository.spotify.com/pool/non-free/s/spotify/
you convert with 'alien' and this command:
alien --to-rpm spotify-client_0.8.2.637.g252b980.486-1_amd64.deb
To install you need to uninstall first:
rpm -ev spotify-client rpm -ivh Downloads/Spotify/spotify-client-0.8.2.637.g252b980.486-2.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libcef.so()(64bit) is needed by spotify-client-0.8.2.637.g252b980.486-2.x86_64 libcrypto.so.0.9.8()(64bit) is needed by spotify-client-0.8.2.637.g252b980.486-2.x86_64 libcrypto.so.0.9.8(OPENSSL_0.9.8)(64bit) is needed by spotify-client-0.8.2.637.g252b980.486-2.x86_ libssl.so.0.9.8()(64bit) is needed by spotify-client-0.8.2.637.g252b980.486-2.x86_64 libssl.so.0.9.8(OPENSSL_0.9.8)(64bit) is needed by spotify-client-0.8.2.637.g252b980.486-2.x86_64
OK, that didn't work so well.
Install:
# rpm -ivh --nodeps Downloads/Spotify/spotify-client-0.8.2.637.g252b980.486-2.x Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:spotify-client ########################################### [100%]
You'll get errors while trying to start spotify:
spotify spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libnss3.so.1d: cannot open shared object file: No such file
What you need to do is create symlinks:
ln -s /usr/lib64/libnss3.so /usr/lib64/libnss3.so.1d ln -s /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so /usr/lib64/libnssutil3.so.1d ln -s /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so /usr/lib64/libsmime3.so.1d yum -y install nspr nspr-devel ln -s /usr/lib64/libplc4.so /usr/lib64/libplc4.so.0d ln -s /usr/lib64/libnspr4.so /usr/lib64/libnspr4.so.0d
However, it still crashes when I try to right-click on an app - but now it has apps :)
