I've managed to get it working on Slackware64 13.0 and here's what I did.

First, I should note that my system is multi-lib after following the instructions on the Slackbook website.

(1) Build 32-bit versions of libsigc++, glibmm, cairomm, pangomm, and gtkmm from SlackBuilds.

(2) Install curl and libidn from 32-bit Slackware 13.0.

(3) Install boost 1.33.1 from slacky.eu.

(4) Make the following symlinks:

Code:

ln -s /usr/lib/libboost_date_time-mt.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_date_time.so.1.33.1                            
ln -s /usr/lib/libboost_signals-mt.so.1.33.1 /usr/lib/libboost_signals.so.1.33.1                                
ln -s /usr/lib/libboost_iostreams-mt.so.1.33.1 /usr/liblibboost_iostreams.so.1.33.1

(5) Install Amazonmp3 for OpenSUSE 11.0

And it works. Tested it by downloading one of the free mp3s.

If you want to do this on 32-bit Slack 13.0 the main problem is going to be getting the right version of boost installed. I tried it first with 1.38.0 which comes with Slackware, but it wouldn't work. Not sure if anything will break if you just remove 1.38.0 and install 1.33.1, but you could try.

I just installed the new openssl/solibs (0.9.8i-i486-4) and suddenly the downloader works again in Slackware 12.2 for me.

Just wanted to report that I have the amazonmp3 downloader working on Slackware 13. I'm downloading my first album in Slackware right now.

Here is how I did it:

Installed (using sbopkg, a.k.a. Slackbuilds):
libsigc++
glibmm
cairomm
pangomm
gtkmm
libglademm

Downloaded and installed the OpenSUSE 11.1 rpm of the mp3 downloader using rpm2tgz.

Created the following symlinks needed by amazonmp3:
ln -s libboost_filesystem.so libboost_filesystem.so.1.36.0
ln -s libboost_regex.so libboost_regex.so.1.36.0
ln -s libboost_date_time.so libboost_date_time.so.1.36.0
ln -s libboost_signals.so libboost_signals.so.1.36.0
ln -s libboost_iostreams.so libboost_iostreams.so.1.36.0
ln -s libboost_thread-mt.so libboost_thread.so.1.36.0
ln -s libboost_system.so libboost_system.so.1.36.0

Cool! I haven't had the courage to try it on my new Slackware64 box.

Many thanks for this.

I followed your instructions but unfortunately I couldn't get it to work. The problem may be that amazon have updated their installers - they currently offer an rpm for opensuse 11.2 whereas you got an rpm for 11.1.

The first sign of trouble was that it gave an error indicating amazonmp3 wanted libboost 1.39.0. I got round this by renaming the symlinks accordingly (though slackware 13 has boost 1.38). But I then got this error:

Code:

amazonmp3: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.11' not found (required by amazonmp3)

Any ideas?

Code:

... they currently offer an rpm for opensuse 11.2 whereas you got an rpm for 11.1.

Strange, when I look at the amazonmp3 website they are still showing the OpenSUSE 11.1 rpm. Anyways, I do still have a copy of the 11.1 rpm if you'd like to give that a try.

I received the same 'GLIBCXX' error when I tried the Fedora rpm, that why I tried the OpenSUSE rpm.

I'm guessing the 11.1 rpm is what you need. Just let me know the best way to get it to you.

Just remembered that I have my own ftp site, duh :-}. You can download the OpenSUSE 11.1 rpm from ftp://bob.homelinux.com.

Great- huge thanks! All working now.

I think the difference we're seeing is between US and UK, because the web page the app sent me to upon launch refused to let me continue as I was outside the US.

I manually navigated to the UK page and had to find a link to skip installer installation and manually specify to open with /usr/bin/amazonmp3 but otherwise all was fine.
