Description of problem: $ cowbell Cannot open assembly @libdir@/cowbell/cowbell.exe. Need I say more? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): cowbell-0.2.7.1-10.fc8.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run cowbell at the command prompt. 2. 3. Actual results: Error message: Cannot open assembly @libdir@/cowbell/cowbell.exe. and program exits. Expected results: No error message and program starts. Additional info:
Created attachment 305174 [details] Modify the sed command to expand the @libdir@ in cowbell.in Makefile.in doesn't expand all the variables in cowbell.in, leaving @libdir@ untranslated. Add: Patch1: cowbell-libdir-expand.patch and %patch1 -p1 To the spec file and it works.
Above patch works, but due to changes in Amazon api, fetching any information no longer works on the 0.2 branch. Using 0.3 pre-release from svn instead, as this provides expected functionality via musicbrainz. Updated package, including above patch, tested by me to work on both i386 and x86_64, pending -testing inclusion for F-9 now: See https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/pending/cowbell-0.3-0.svn34.4.2.fc9
$ rpm -q cowbell cowbell-0.3-0.svn34.4.2.fc9.x86_64 $ cowbell Cannot open assembly /usr/lib/cowbell/cowbell.exe. This is on an x86_64 system with the latest version of cowbell. The problem is that in /usr/bin/cowbell, libdir is defined as "/usr/lib/cowbell" instead of "/usr/lib64/cowbell".
As a follow up on comment #3, after I changed the definition of libdir in /usr/bin/cowbell to /usr/lib64/cowbell, I get this error: $ cowbell ** (cowbell:23695): WARNING **: The following assembly referenced from /usr/lib64/cowbell/Cowbell.Base.dll could not be loaded: Assembly: taglib-sharp (assemblyref_index=3) Version: 2.0.3.0 Public Key: db62eba44689b5b0 The assembly was not found in the Global Assembly Cache, a path listed in the MONO_PATH environment variable, or in the location of the executing assembly (/usr/lib64/cowbell). ** (cowbell:23695): WARNING **: Could not load file or assembly 'taglib-sharp, Version=2.0.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=db62eba44689b5b0' or one of its dependencies.

I changed the Fedora version to 9 since that's what I'm using.
