Missing or broken libsane.so.1 library

Table of Contents

Description

The SANE library allows Windows applications to access document scanners.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibsane missinglibsane.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
    • 64-bit Arch Linux : Install from the AUR repository
    • Debian : apt-get install libsane:i386
    • 64-bit Fedora : yum install sane-backends-libs.i686 sane-backends-libs.x86_64
    • 64-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install sane-backends-32bit
    • 64-bit openSUSE Tumbleweed : zypper install libsane1-32bit
       
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu sane
    • Debian : apt-get install libsane:amd64
    • Fedora : yum install sane-backends-libs.x86_64
    • openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install sane-backends
    • openSUSE Tumbleweed : zypper install libsane1
    • Ubuntu 17.10 : apt-get install libsane1:amd64

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.
