CrossOver Linux FAQ

Before going too far, be sure to run CrossOver's fix tool. From a terminal, change to CrossOver's binary directory (/opt/cxoffice/bin or ~/cxoffice/bin) and run the following command:

/opt/cxoffice/bin/cxfix --auto

or

~/cxoffice/bin/cxfix --auto

Running cxfix installs libraries commonly required by Windows applications.

You can also run cxdiag, CrossOver's diagnostic tool, to check your computer for missing libraries and other potential problems. From CrossOver's binary directory, run the following commands:

./cxdiag
./cxdiag64

Running cxdiag outputs a list of libraries the CrossOver needs. Additional information on resolving issues found with cxdiag is available here.
