Today, the new Supershirt album “Kunstwerk” was released. I wanted to purchase it on amazon, because they have a Linux client. But I run a 64 bit Ubuntu and the amazon mp3 downloader is only available for 32 bit systems.
There is a simple solution to that. First download the 32 bit client from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/dmusic/help/amd.html
Install 32 bit libraries:
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Then install it ignoring the architecture:
sudo dpkg -i –force-architecture AmazonMP3DownloaderInstall.deb
Download the getlibs script:
wget http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb
Fetch missing libraries:
sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb sudo getlibs /usr/bin/amazonmp3
sudo getlibs -p gvfs sudo getlibs -w http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost/libboost-date-time1.34.1_1.34.1-16ubuntu1_i386.deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost/libboost-filesystem1.34.1_1.34.1-16ubuntu1_i386.deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost/libboost-iostreams1.34.1_1.34.1-16ubuntu1_i386.deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost/libboost-regex1.34.1_1.34.1-16ubuntu1_i386.deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost/libboost-signals1.34.1_1.34.1-16ubuntu1_i386.deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/boost/libboost-thread1.34.1_1.34.1-16ubuntu1_i386.deb http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/ubuntu/pool/main/i/icu/libicu40_4.0.1-2ubuntu2_i386.deb
Make the libs known to the system:
sudo ldconfig
Now you’re good to go!
