Missing or broken libXrender.so.1 library

Table of Contents

Description

The XRender library lets Windows applications perform compositing operations and is thus particularly important for applications that use transparent windows. These applications can still work without this library, but its absence is likely to cause display artifacts.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibxrender missinglibxrender.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 libxrender
    64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-libxrender
    Debian : apt-get install libxrender1:i386
    32-bit Fedora : yum install libXrender
    64-bit Fedora : yum install libXrender.i686 libXrender.x86_64
    32-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libXrender
    64-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libXrender-32bit
    32-bit openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXrender1
    64-bit openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXrender1-32bit
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libxrender
    Debian : apt-get install libxrender1:amd64
    Fedora : yum install libXrender.x86_64
    openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libXrender
    openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXrender1

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.
