Missing or broken libXcomposite.so.1 library

Table of Contents

Description

This library is needed for Windows applications that display 3D graphics in a window. This includes most CAD-like applications and some games.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibxcomposite missinglibxcomposite.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
    32-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libxcomposite
    64-bit Arch Linux : pacman -Syu lib32-libxcomposite
    Debian : apt-get install libxcomposite1:i386
    32-bit Fedora : yum install libXcomposite
    64-bit Fedora : yum install libXcomposite.i686 libXcomposite.x86_64
    32-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs
    64-bit openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs-32bit
    32-bit openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXcomposite1
    64-bit openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXcomposite1-32bit
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libxcomposite
    Debian : apt-get install libxcomposite1:amd64
    Fedora : yum install libXcomposite.x86_64
    openSUSE >= 11.2 : zypper install xorg-x11-libs
    openSUSE >= 12.1 : zypper install libXcomposite1

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.
