Installing the Amazon MP3 Downloader in Ubuntu 64-Bit Mint Example by eokuwwy
Installing the Amazon MP3 Downloader in an Ubuntu distribution isn’t exactly as easy as it looks. At least, it was not easy for me on my 64-bit version of Linux Mint 10. I tried installing the .deb file by forcing it to use the 32-bit architecture, but there were always errors that occured during the install. So finally, I stopped searching google for “install amazonmp3 linux ubuntu” and tried “install amazonmp3 linux mint” instead. The second result explains perfectly how to do it.

This post is highly worthy of a repost, so I’m giving you the script here as well.
#!/bin/shsudo dpkg -i —force-all ~/amazonmp3.deb
sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
wget http://frozenfox.freehostia.com/cappy/getlibs-all.deb
sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb
sudo getlibs —release lucid /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
sudo ldconfig
I haven’t tested on other 64-bit Ubuntu-based distributions, but I think it should work. It’s worth a shot anyway.
