Install Amazon Mp3 downloader in openSUSE 12.1 64bit

Unfortunately the amazon mp3 downloader is a dynamically linked 32bit app, hard linked to a specified version of libboost and do not work in newer enviroments than the specified version of openSUSE

First we need the 32-bit boost librarys, easy to as root with

# zypper in libboost*-32bit

In a perfect world, that should do it, but amazonmp3 as of now depends on version 1.39.0 of the librarys, so we need some symlinking….(as root)

#!/bin/bash 
# create some symlinks for boost libraries
# initially created for the amazon mp3 downloader
# need root of course
 
NEEDED=1.39.0
PROVIDED=1.46.1

As the version is still not the right one in the rpm library, the package manager still complains about the dependencies, but it's save to ignore this here
