Missing or broken libXinerama.so.1 library

Table of Contents

Description

If your computer has multiple display screens, the Xinerama library lets Windows applications take advantage of them.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibxinerama missinglibxinerama.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 64-bit Windows applications
    • Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libxinerama
    • Debian : apt-get install libxinerama1:amd64
    • Fedora : yum install libXinerama.x86_64
    • openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs
    • openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXinerama1

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.
