Thanks to Bob Brush for the easy-to-follow recipe.

However, some people may need to run
ldconfig
as root, after doing all the symlinks … it depends on whether or not you attempted to run amazonmp3 before getting everything linked properly. But, ldconfig is safe to run even if it isn’t strictly required.

bottom line: if amazonmp3 complains after following Bob’s instructions, try running ldconfig (as root) and then run amazonmp3 again.

Thanks for this page! Grabbed clamz and built/installed without a problem. For anyone reading this who is not used to building from source. After you download the file (a gzip compressed tar file):
- uncompress and unpack the file (tar –gunzip -xvof clamz-0.2.tar.gz)
- get in the unpacked directory (cd clamz-0.2)
- follow the directions in the README file. There
are 3 basic steps:
– run the autoconfigure script to setup the build (./configure). If step may fail if some required library isn’t installed, it will tell you why it quit
– build the program (make)
– install the program (make install) note, this must be run as root, since it copies data into system folders.

Excellent, thanks, guys. I installed clamz before I saw Bob Brush’s message, but never ran it. Bob’s recipe worked like a charm, although it had to install a disturbing number of packages.

I also can’t install the downloader under FC11. x86_64 version. Yum fails looking for boost libraries… so thanks for the pointer.

The last time, that was actually the first, I tried to buy MP3 from amazon they said that my money was not good enough for them. So I never came back.

The Amazon MP3 Downloader works great for me under F11
