Missing or broken libnsl.so.1 library

Table of Contents

Description

This library is needed for NTLM authentication.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibnsl missinglibnsl.amd64

Or add --show-all to see how CrossOver would fix it on your platform and others.

Normally this library is shipped together with the C library so to fix this issue you should refer to the Missing C library page.
Fedora 28 and greater is the exception though. So on Fedora you may try one of the commands below.

  • For 32-bit Windows applications
    32-bit Fedora >= 28 : dnf install --best libnsl
    64-bit Fedora >= 28 : dnf install --best libnsl.i686 libnsl.x86_64
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    Fedora >= 28 : dnf install --best libnsl.x86_64

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.
