Missing or broken libgphoto2.so.6 library

Table of Contents

Description

The gPhoto library makes it possible for Windows applications to import pictures from digital cameras.

Resolution

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

/path/to/cxoffice/bin/cxfix missinglibgphoto2 missinglibgphoto2.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 libgphoto2
    Debian : apt-get install libgphoto2-6:i386
    32-bit Fedora : yum install libgphoto2
    64-bit Fedora : yum install libgphoto2.i686 libgphoto2.x86_64
    32-bit openSUSE : zypper install libgphoto2-6
    64-bit openSUSE : zypper install libgphoto2-6-32bit
  • For 64-bit Windows applications
    Arch Linux : pacman -Syu libgphoto2
    Debian : apt-get install libgphoto2-6:amd64
    Fedora : yum install libgphoto2.x86_64
    openSUSE : zypper install libgphoto2-6

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.
