Missing or broken libXfixes.so.3 library

Table of Contents

Description

The XFixes library provides better copy/paste support from X to Windows applications.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibxfixes missinglibxfixes.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 64-bit Windows applications
    • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libxfixes
    • Debian : apt-get install libxfixes3:amd64
    • Fedora : yum install libXfixes.x86_64
    • openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libXfixes
    • openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXfixes3

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.
