Missing or broken libgphoto2_port.so.12 library

Table of Contents

Description

The gPhoto library makes it possible for Windows applications to import pictures from digital cameras.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibgphoto2port12 missinglibgphoto2port12.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
    • Debian : apt-get install libgphoto2-port12:i386
    • 64-bit Fedora : dnf install --best libgphoto2.i686 libgphoto2.x86_64
    • 64-bit openSUSE : zypper install libgphoto2-6-32bit
       
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libgphoto2
    • Debian : apt-get install libgphoto2-port12:amd64
    • Fedora : dnf install --best libgphoto2.x86_64
    • openSUSE : zypper install libgphoto2-6

Notes:

  • cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
  • The commands usually also apply to newer versions of the distributions above as well as derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 7 may still be valid for the latest Debian Testing and 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.
