Missing or broken libXi.so.6 library

Table of Contents

Description

This library provides support for joysticks and graphics tablets. If you don't have such a device you don't need it.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibxi missinglibxi.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 libxi
    64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-libxi
    Debian : apt-get install libxi6:i386
    32-bit Fedora : yum install libXi
    64-bit Fedora : yum install libXi.i686 libXi.x86_64
    32-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs
    64-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs-32bit
    32-bit openSUSE >= 11.3 : zypper install libXi6
    64-bit openSUSE >= 11.3 : zypper install libXi6-32bit
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libxi
    Debian : apt-get install libxi6:amd64
    Fedora : yum install libXi.x86_64
    openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs
    openSUSE >= 11.3 : zypper install libXi6

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.
