\"zattoo\" Just got back from a long weekend, and I saw a nice news item waiting for me in my email box, the Zattoo client<\/a> is now available for Linux. The Zattoo client<\/a> is a peer-to-peer client that allows the user to select a Live TV channel (out of a growing selection of television channels).<\/p>\n

While only released so far for Linux in a x86 (32bit) format for 3 different distributions : Ubuntu 6.10, Fedora Core 6, and OpenSuse 10.2, it can quickly be adapted to other distros. I\u2019ve been able to get it running without much trouble (just had to add 2 libraries) on my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (x86-64)<\/strong>. Here are the few steps needed to get it running after having downloaded the binary from the Zattoo download pages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Create two Symbolic Links:<\/p>\n

ln -s \/lib\/libssl.so.0.9.8b \/lib\/libssl.so.0.9.8\nln -s \/lib\/libcrypto.so.0.9.8b \/lib\/libcrypto.so.0.9.8<\/pre>
\nIn addition it requires two additional libraries that where not on my configuration The gtkglext<\/strong> library for i386, which I found already compiled for rhel5-i386<\/a> and the libfaad<\/strong> library found in the faad2 package<\/a> for i386. In addition I also created a ldconfig entry for Zattoo to find it\u2019s libraries. Under RHEL5 I use the ld.so.conf.d directory.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
Edit \/etc\/ld.so.conf.d\/zattoo.conf<\/span> :<\/p>\n
\/usr\/lib\/zattoo<\/pre>
\nWhen I didn\u2019t do this, I was getting the following error code:<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
zattoo_player: symbol lookup error: zattoo_player: undefined symbol: faacDecOpen<\/pre>
