Missing or broken liblcms2.so.2 library

Description

Provides color profile information to Windows applications. This is particularly useful if you have color-calibrated your screen but some applications need it even if you have not done so.

Resolution

On CrossOver 17 and greater, the simplest solution to fix this issue is to run:

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missingliblcms2 missingliblcms2.amd64

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Alternatively you may try one of the commands below.

• For 32-bit Windows applications
  32-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lcms2
  64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-lcms2
  Debian : apt-get install liblcms2-2:i386
  32-bit Fedora : yum install lcms2
  64-bit Fedora : yum install lcms2.i686 lcms2.x86_64
  32-bit openSUSE : zypper install liblcms2-2
  64-bit openSUSE : zypper install liblcms2-2-32bit
• For 64-bit Windows applications
  Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lcms2
  Debian : apt-get install liblcms2-2:amd64
  Fedora : yum install lcms2.x86_64
  openSUSE : zypper install liblcms2-2

Notes:

• cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
• The ++color:cyan++commands usually also apply to derived distributions++. So for instance a fix for Debian is typically also applicable to Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Deepin and Pop! OS. Similarly a fix for Fedora likely also works on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, etc.
