I recently installed Slackware 14.2 and I'm trying to run Spotify. I installed both Spotify64 and libgcrypt using the Slackbuilds without errors, but when I try to run Spotify it tells me "error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11".
My libgcrypt files are /usr/lib64/libgcrypt.so.20; /usr/lib64/libgcrypt.so; /lib64/libgcrypt.so.20.

Maybe I have the versions mixed up or some path variable missing? Or something with the 32/64-bit versions? Would be great if anyone could shed some light.
Thanks.

PS: This being my first post I hope I'm in the right spot. Sorry if not.

hi Fission Chips, welcome to LQ!

I just downloaded the spotify build script from SBo, untarred it, went into its folder.
then, as I spotted on git that Ryan updated it to its latest version, I downloaded the patch from there and applied it (still inside the just-uncompressed spotify.SlackBuild directory)
then I downloaded the 64bit deb, made the slackware package running the SlackBuild, installed it, and run spotify with no issues.
the package I installed is versioned spotify-1.0.34.146.g28f9eda2-x86_64-1_SBo.txz

no need to install libgcrypt as it was already installed (full installation here, the only one supported by SBo).
also it doesn't seem needed by the spotify binary
it's preferred to report issue with SBo' scripts to the maintainers, then, if they are not responsive in a reasonable time, to the slackbuilds-users mailing list (or the irc channel, if you prefer): here is not guaranteed that you will have an answer.

Hello ponce, thanks a lot!

Worked fine, thank you very much for the tips and the patch, Spotify is running!
I did not find the version you mentioned, there seem to be quick updates.. But by playing with the SB script it worked fine and I ended up version spotify-1.0.36.120.g536a862f-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz

Thanks also for the reporting tip, so that means I better just mail the maintainer listed on SlackBuilds?

yes, assumed you are using the SlackBuild contacting the maintainer reporting the issue with it should be your first step (and usually should be enough).
