I got the SopCast install to work via the repositry but then it got stuck repeating connecting/retrying when trying to play a channel.

Just a tip that I needed to allow a protocol through my Guarddog firewall to get Sopcast to play a channel.
It was Protocol>File Transfer>Network File System-Sun Microsystems
I got this through trial and error so I do not quite know why it was needed, just that it was.
Anyway that is what I needed to do using Ubuntu 9.1 and now Sopcast works as it should and I hope that helps someone.

Worked like a charm on karmic (64), when using sp-auth_3.2.6_all.deb instead of the one you originally suggested, as well as apt-get -f install in order to meet the lib32stdc++5 requirement.

Thanks for sharing!

Dependency issue in Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx). 10.04 comes with libstdc++6…

Dependency is not satisfiable: ia32-libs|lib32stdc++5

Beautiful post. Worked like a charm..
(and also double checked ‘ingalex’s’ post. turns out he’s right. Sopcast is indeed available at the Ubuntu software repository.. damn..)

thanks for the great post nonetheless !!

If you have any unmet dependencies trying to install libstdc++5 with Karmic try running:

sudo apt-get install -f

That worked for me.

@shanksy: you need to copy the 32bit version of libstdc++.so.5 into /usr/lib32

then sopcast just works under 64bit Karmic

Here you can find instructions to install sopcast-player from repository on Ubuntu Karmic Koala.
There is sopcast-player with integrated libstdc+5.
Sopcast player and sp-auth are compiled for 32 and 64 bit.

I have installed the libstdc++5, sp-auth and sopcast player all in that order for 64 bit Karmic.

When I run from the terminal I am still getting the error message :
sp-sc: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can anyone help, it worked fine under Jaunty.

As sheepeatingtaz says you need libstdc++5.

The Jaunty version also works very well.

I really like your blog, but sometimes I don’t know why do you think the default architecture is i386. One of the most advantages of linux (over Microsoft Windows) is that the 64bit edition works fine and we have to encourage people to use 64bit edition.

Thank you sheepeatingtaz,

As you said sp-auth has dependencies not in the karmic repositories, but you can download a *.deb over at debian.org

Does anyone know if having version 5 and 6 both installed will cause any conflicts?

By: sheepeatingtaz

sheepeatingtaz — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:50:20 +0000

Unless something has changed since I did this (last night!) You will also need to download libstdc++5 (version 6 is in Karmic) BEFORE you install the sp-auth deb. I got a copy from http://packages.debian.org/lenny/i386/libstdc++5/download which installed fine.

Got the same “sopcast-player: Depends: sp-auth (>= 3.0.1) but it is not installable” :-/
