Install Spotify under openSUSE Factory

We need some additional packages to get the job done.



This is the installation package for alien

You will have to download the Debian spotify client preview for linux for there are no other distro packages currently available.

But no worries we gonna transform this package to a RPM package with the help of alien and rpm-build.

http://repository.spotify.com/pool/n...81-1_amd64.deb

Open up a console and go straight to the location of your downloaded .deb file.
Once there make yourself root .

As root type:

"zypper in rpm-build"

"alien -r spotify-client_0.9.11.27.g2b1a638.81-1_amd64.deb"

Install some dependencies for openssl

"zypper in libxmlsec1-openssl-devel nss-compat-openssl-devel xmlsec1-openssl-devel libxmlsec1-openssl1"

Now install spotify

"rpm -ivh spotify-client-0.9.11.27.g2b1a638.81-2.x86_64.rpm"

error: Failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.1.0.0(OPENSSL_1.0.0)(64bit) is needed by spotify-client-0.9.11.27.g2b1a638.81-2.x86_64
libgcrypt.so.11()(64bit) is needed by spotify-client-0.9.11.27.g2b1a638.81-2.x86_64
libgcrypt.so.11(GCRYPT_1.2)(64bit) is needed by spotify-client-0.9.11.27.g2b1a638.81-2.x86_64
libssl.so.1.0.0(OPENSSL_1.0.0)(64bit) is needed by spotify-client-0.9.11.27.g2b1a638.81-2.x86_64

To avoid this problem install the rpm like this

"rpm -ivh spotify-client-0.9.11.27.g2b1a638.81-2.x86_64.rpm --nodeps"

Spotify now installs and after this you can start using it under the multimedia menu.
