Missing or broken 32-bit libtiff.so.4 library

Table of Contents

As of version 15.0, CrossOver no longer uses this library. This article left in place for reference only.

Description

This library is needed by some Windows applications that manipulate TIFF images.

Resolution

As of 15.0 CrossOver uses a newer version of this library. See the Missing libtiff.so.5 library page.
Current Linux distributions only provide newer versions of this library which cannot be used by older CrossOver versions.

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibtiff

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 libtiff4:i386

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.
