Description

The libz library provides support for compressing and decompressing data. It is most often used by Windows applications for network communication.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibz missinglibz.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 zlib
  • Debian : apt-get install zlib1g:amd64
  • Fedora : yum install zlib.x86_64
  • openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install zlib
  • openSUSE >= 12.3 : zypper install libz1

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.
