An -if this helps- article on how to get Zattoo working

I just spent half an hour getting zattoo to run on my arch linux box, and finally got it working. Thought I'd share how I got there with anyone trying to...

I got the tar archine from the Zattoo site, unpacked it, and placed it in the system.
As mentionned, you need to install gtkglext (e.g. from pacman), and have flash to get it working. However...

Also download their xulrunner build! If you just regularly updated your system, like me, you'll probably have a version like 1.9, which isnt compatible with the older one Zattoo depends opon. To make it yourself easy, just do as they say and place their version in the /usr/lib/Zattoo folder, and run their synlinks on the site. (sudo ln -s /usr/lib/zattoo/xulrunner/libgtkembedmoz.so /usr/lib/zattoo/libgtkembedmoz.so.0d and so on..)

( It took me 25 minutes to give up on trying to get the 1.9 working with zattoo, and realizing there was a build online too)

Now, if you'll try to start it, you'll probably still get shared lib error's. However, someone clearly has had the same problem before, and sorted out the correct symlinks to get zattoo to find everything correctly (see refs). For me, these 4 did the job:

cd /usr/lib
  ln -s /usr/lib/libcrypto.so libk5crypto.so.3
  ln -s /usr/lib/libkrb5.so libkrb5.so.3
  ln -s /usr/lib/libkrb5.so libkrb5support.so.0
  ln -s /usr/lib/libgssapi.so libgssapi_krb5.so.2

If everything went well, you should now be able to start zattoo_player and watch your favorite channel:)
Hope this helps anyone

The wiki is the place for this, please make an article there. Thanks for taking the time to document and contribute though!

Also, the program should be recompiled from source against those libraries. Symlinking .so files is a bad idea.
