Missing or broken libpcap.so.0.8 library

Table of Contents

Description

The libpcap library is needed by Windows applications that require low-level network access to capture network traffic.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibpcap missinglibpcap.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
    Debian : apt-get install libpcap0.8:i386
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    Debian : apt-get install libpcap0.8:amd64

Notes:

  • cxfix --show-all may have more up-to-date fixes.
  • The commands usually also apply to derived distributions. So for instance a fix for Debian 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.
