Installing CrossOver on Linux x86_64 Distributions


CrossOver works well on 64 bit versions of Linux, but there are
a few tricks that you need to use.

First, if you are using a Debian based system,
you need to be sure to install a package called ia32-libs.

You can do this with the Synaptic package manager
(look under System...Administrative), or you can open a terminal
and run the following command:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Second, if you wish to install either the RPM or Debian package
(.rpm or .deb), then you may need to instruct your package installer
to 'force' the architecture.

For RPM files, the command is:
sudo rpm -Uvh --ignorearch crossover-XXX.rpm

For Debian files, the command is:
sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture crossover-XXX.deb
