Running Spotify on Fedora 11

I had some problem getting Spotify to run on my 64bit Fedora 11 laptop, fonts were missing and some graphics rendered horribly or was totally missing:

Lucky for me I remembered that I have a free Crossover download waiting for me! So I got that, and it threw a bunch of missing dependencys in my face while configuring the first bottle:

This is what to install

# yum install cups-libs.i586 fontconfig.i586 gnutls.i586 hal-libs.i586 libXcomposite.i586 libpng.i586 sane-backends-libs.i586 libXcursor.i586 libXinerama.i586 libXrandr.i586 libXrender.i586

It pulls in some dependencys of their own, install those too.

Then you can install Spotify using Crossover, or if you don’t have that one, you can just use wine. Wine should render everything correctly once all of that stuff is installed.

Please comment if you try this and tell me how it went! Now for some more coffee…

    Wow, this worked perfectly (I’m running spotify through Wine on fedora x64 too). Thank you so much!
