Trouble with missing libraries

I've run "/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxdiag --debug" and have gone through to make sure that I have all the libs, even if I don't think I'll need them. The output may be found here. The problem is that some of them aren't being recognised (even with the dev versions also installed) and others I can't find. I was hoping to get some help with that.

I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 64b

Those that are installed are:
Libgphoto2
libhal

Those I can't find:
libgstapp
libgstreamer

The ones I'm most concerned about are those last two, as I don't use a digital camera, and the only problem I've had with CD detection has been fixed.

Hi George
Try searching for gstreamer rather than libgstreamer libstapp is part of GStreamer Streaming-Media Framework and should show up in the gstreamer search.

Right, however the results I get don't seem to be those libraries for 64bit installtions. Those end in :i386 right?

I'm on a different distro so what I see may differ a little. Crossover is 32bit so you do need to install the 32bit versions of the Lib. libgstapp-0_10-0 is the 64bit version and libgstapp-0_10-0-32bit is the 32bit version and so on

George, the dev packages usually contain just header files (.h extension) which are only useful when compiling stuff against some lib or another.

A rather big list of "missing libs" and instructions on getting them is here:

There is that bit of info that worries me a bit and I don't recall seeing that issue on Linux Mint 16 (which is based on Ubuntu 13.10) on this page though:

http://www.codeweavers.com/support/wiki/Diag/MissingLibGstreamer

libgstreamer-0.10-0 is no longer available with Ubuntu 13.10 and the
updated package (libgstreamer1.0-0) is not compatible with CrossOver
at this time.

So Canonical packaged the 64bit version but not the 32bit one... I can't test now so I'm not sure it's accurate :/

Try:


sudo apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0:i386

And tell us whether it worked or not.
