Last.fm howto for debian sarge

Last.fm Radio Player

- The first thing you need are these two files.
libxinerama1 (debian testing)
Last.fm binary

- Install libxinerama:
dpkg -i libxinerama1_6.8.2.dfsg.1-7_i386.deb

- Unpack the 'Last.fm tar.bz2' file in a local folder and copy the Last.fm-1.0.5 directory (as root) to /usr/local/lib. Open your favorite editor and create a new file with the name 'player' with the fallowing content:

#! /bin/sh
/usr/local/lib/Last.fm-1.0.5/player
# end

Save this file in /usr/local/bin

- On a console: chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/player

Now the Last.fm Player is available for every user of your system


Audioscrobbler (xmms-scrobbler)
This should also work with 'bmp' replacing 'xmms-dev' with 'beep-media-player-dev'. (I didn't try that)

- Get the source:
xmms-scrobbler source

- Get the relevant deb packages to compile xmms-scrobbler:
aptitude install libcurl3 libcurl3-dev libglib1.2-dev libglib2.0-dev libmusicbrainz4 libmusicbrainz4-dev xmms-dev

- Unpack the plugin source in a local folder and compile the source using './configure' 'make' 'make install' (I prefer checkinstall)

- Remove the '*-dev' packages (using aptitude you will also remove the unnecessary dependencies)
aptitude remove libcurl3-dev libglib1.2-dev libglib2.0-dev libmusicbrainz4-dev xmms-dev


Well I guess that's it. Have fun...

minimec

because a version of libc6 greater that the one is provided is requiered by the libxinerama1 (ver.9)
