Missing or broken libv4l2.so.0 library

Table of Contents

Description

This Video4Linux library lets Windows applications access video capture devices such as webcams and TV tuners.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibv4l2 missinglibv4l2.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
    32-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu v4l-utils
    64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-v4l-utils
    Debian : apt-get install libv4l-0:i386
    32-bit Fedora : yum install libv4l.i686
    64-bit Fedora : yum install libv4l.i686 libv4l.x86_64
    32-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install libv4l
    64-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install libv4l-32bit
    32-bit openSUSE >= 11.3 : zypper install libv4l2-0
    64-bit openSUSE >= 11.3 : zypper install libv4l2-0-32bit
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    Arch Linux : pacman -Syu v4l-utils
    Debian : apt-get install libv4l-0:amd64
    Fedora : yum install libv4l.x86_64
    openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install libv4l
    openSUSE >= 11.3 : zypper install libv4l2-0

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.
