Missing or broken libgsm.so.1 library

Table of Contents

Description

The libgsm library lets Windows applications use the GSM codec (msgsm32.acm) for audio compression and decompression.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibgsm missinglibgsm.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 libgsm1:i386
    • 64-bit Fedora : yum install gsm.i686 gsm.x86_64
    • 64-bit openSUSE : zypper install libgsm1-32bit
    • 64-bit Ubuntu : apt-get install ia32-libs
       
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu gsm
    • Debian : apt-get install libgsm1:amd64
    • Fedora : yum install gsm.x86_64
    • openSUSE : zypper install libgsm1
    • Ubuntu : apt-get install libgsm1:amd64

Notes:

  • cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
  • The 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.
