CrossOver missing library error messages

In CrossOver 15 we have streamlined our ability to help us help you. If you are having trouble and want to contact us or troubleshoot your system yourself, please start by launching CrossOver. Then, click on the Help menu option and choose System Information. This will immediately report the information CrossOver sees about your system including cxdiag. That will make choosing the correct pages below make more sense.

If you still cannot resolve the trouble you're seeing, please include your System Report when you Contact Us.

Use cxdiag

CrossOver has a tool called cxdiag which checks your Linux computer for missing libraries or other potential problems.

To use cxdiag open up a terminal, change to the Crossover binary directory (either /opt/cxoffice or ~/cxoffice), and run:

./bin/cxdiag --debug
