Missing gzip tool

Table of Contents

Description

The gzip tool is needed to decompress downloaded files, most notably the cxfixes update.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinggzip

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:

  • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu gzip
  • Debian : apt-get install gzip
  • Fedora : yum install gzip
  • openSUSE : zypper install gzip

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.
