"spotifyd: cannot execute: required file not found" on fresh Raspberry Pi 4

[EddieCarrera]

I'm trying to get spotifyd installed on a fresh raspberry pi 4 running Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit, Kernel version: 6.1 Debian version: 12 (bookworm)). I tried following along with these instructions along with the install guide in the wiki, but neither seems to allow me to run the spotifyd executable.

Here are the steps I personally took and the errors that comes up as a result:

Do you have a solution for this?

[EddieCarrera]

Yea, it worked with a spotifyd executable I built from source - which involved installing rust and building the cargo.

[judahpaul16]

@Ke-fle Fix for me (without compiling from Rust) was to add the armhf base image with dpkg --add-architecture armhf and install these dependencies: libc6:armhf libdbus-1-3:armhf libasound2:armhf
