    Hello,
    I would like to install spotify client on my NST system, here is the link with which I could install spotify client: https://gist.github.com/olejon/54473554be2d4dbacd03
    but my output indicates an error on an object!
    here is my output:

    [phipo@localhost ~]$ spotify
    spotify: error while loading shared libraries: libgcrypt.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    [phipo@localhost ~]$ 
    

    regards
    philippe

    It looks like you did not get the libgcrypt.so.11 library properly installed following the Spotify client installation instructions. I would recommend that you double check that the following two steps completed properly:

    dnf install rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
    dnf copr enable red/libgcrypt.so.11
    

    If those steps completed correctly, I would expect a library to be installed. My guess is that the following comand would find the library after it is successfully installed:

    ls -l /usr/lib*/libgcrypt.so.11
    

    If that library doesn't exist you will need to work with the github project that you downloaded the client from (spotify is not something we typically run on a NST system, but since NST uses Fedora as its base it should run on NST if it runs on Fedora).

    Good luck.

    yes it's better but after rebooting my system, I have a new mistake!
    here is my output:

    [phipo@localhost ~]$ spotify

    You will need to contact the spotify group to troubleshoot this problem. Your output looks like you either missed some steps in the installation process or the spotify installation instructions are not correct.
