last.fm xmms xmms-scrobbler

Ok, we all know about last.fm.

And we all want to get connected! RIGHT!
Well, surprisingly, there isn't that great support with Solaris (Solaris Nevada snv_55b X86).
As we all know, Solaris Nevada snv_55b comes with rythmbox and it has a last.fm plugin (but of course if crashes)

So, If it crashes, what do we do, well, we find something else that works, xmms works!
I installed xmms with pkg-get (click here if you don't know anything about this great feature), saved me the trouble of installing
from source xmms (thanks whoever compiled it and packaged it!)

So I had the binary xmms installed and found a plugin to upload to last.fm
http://xmms-scrobbler.sommitrealweird.co.uk/download/xmms-scrobbler-0.4.0.tar.gz

Downloaded it, compiled it (made sure curl source was in /usr/include), and it worked.
For those who are lazy, I will try to give the x86 compiled version of xmms-scrobbler for solairis but no PROMISES!

Put them in your plugin for xmms (mine is /opt/csw/lib/xmms/General)
Click the links to download them

...remember, you can always compile yourself!
