New issues with SUSE 12.2 and newest spotify

[msbrtnfld]

(1) Need to update with the newest version
FNAME="spotify-client_0.8.8.323.gd143501.250-1"

(2)The script does not create /usr/share/spotify/spotify, even though the script completes successfully.

Converting .deb to .rpm using alien; this will take a few moments ...
(you can safely ignore an error from find during this step)
Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package spotify-client: postinst prerm

find: `spotify-client-0.8.8.323.gd143501.250': No such file or directory
Install Spotify...
Created symbolic links for Spotify library compatibility...
Create a wrapper script to include the compatibility libraries...
Spotify can now be run via /usr/bin/spotify - happy listening!

more /usr/bin/spotify

!/bin/sh

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/spotify /usr/share/spotify/spotify "$@"

but /usr/share/spotify/ is empty

I just removed the cleanup step and did:
sudo rpm -i --force --nodeps --quiet spotify-client-0.8.8.323.gd143501.250-1.x86_64.rpm

which puts the executable in /usr/bin/spotify, I did not need the wrapper.

Thanks. I was holding off on updating to 0.8.8 in case they released a .zip edition soon, but would still welcome a pull request introducing 0.8.8 support.

I just tried your approach. The /usr/bin/spotify installed by the rpm (which is a symlink to /opt/spotify/spotify-client/spotify) crashes immediately, unless I first set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/spotify. I have no idea how it could have worked for you, unless you also set LD_LIBRARY_PATH?

I am now working on updating the script. Hopefully should be done this weekend. See also issue #9.

I have finished a revamp of the script, and it now works with 0.8.8. Please note the installation process has changed - see the README.
