I run spotify on my web browser, I didn't know there was an application for spotify. I'm following this thread with interest.

Grab "spotify-client_1.1.42.622.gbd112320-37_amd64.deb" (I had to restart download a few times, weird)
http://repository.spotify.com/pool/n...potify-client/

Grab spotify.tar.gz.
https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...media/spotify/
Put it in /tmp/
Use

Code:

tar -xzvf spotify.tar.gz

to extract spotify.tar.gz.
copy spotify-client_1.1.42.622.gbd112320-37_amd64.deb into the spotify folder that is created.

Then as root user and inside the spotify folder use the command

Code:

sh spotify.SlackBuild

This did this for me: "Slackware package /tmp/spotify-1.1.42-x86_64-2_SBo.tgz created."

If you have a spotify package already installed use

Code:

upgradepkg spotify-1.1.42-x86_64-2_SBo.tgz

If you do not have a spotify package already installed use

Code:

installpkg spotify-1.1.42-x86_64-2_SBo.tgz

. sbopkg will recognize the package because it has the SBo tag.

this worked to get the app but when i execute the app nothing happens so i will just use the web app. thank you for the help.

Code:

bash-5.0$ spotify 
/opt/spotify/usr/bin/spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl-gnutls.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It is asking for a library that spotify requires.

you can make a symlink to libcurl and it will work

Thanks willysr!

SandMan, type

Code:

locate libcurl | grep lib64

and it will list libcurl versions available on your system in /usr/lib64/.

Then go to /usr/lib64 and type

Code:

bash-5.0$ ls -lh libcurl*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   16 Nov 22 22:42 libcurl-gnutls.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.7.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   16 Oct 15 10:31 libcurl.so -> libcurl.so.4.7.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   16 Oct 15 10:31 libcurl.so.4 -> libcurl.so.4.7.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 602K Oct 14 14:12 libcurl.so.4.7.0

"lrwxrwxrwx" are links to libcurl.so.4.7.0

As root make a symbolic link to libcurl.so.4.7.0 to libcurl-gnutls.so.4

Code:

ln -s libcurl.so.4.7.0 libcurl-gnutls.so.4

spotify should work after doing that. I tested it and it loads up at least.
