I don’t personally have a problem with CrossOver Linux on my openSUSE 12.3 x86_64 machine but it does look like I have some issues with it. When I run the CrossOver diagnostic tool, I get this output:

What I don’t understand is why I am getting the missing libgphoto2 and libtiff. A checked my /usr/libs folder:
Is CrossOver not able to redirect automatically to the from libtiff.so.4 to libtiff.so.5? Should I make a symbolic link?
What is the best practice for ensuring that this software runs as needed? I also see that CodeWeavers doesn’t officially support openSUSE either. I read on a CrossOver forum thread this:
Unfortunately we no longer support Crossover 12.x on Opensuse 12.x because of all the missing libraries in the distro and other issues like you’re seeing. We gave up after Crossover 11.3 because trying to keep Crossover installing and running correctly on OpenSuse was like playing whack-a-mole and as soon as we would fix for one missing library another would disappear, be moved, or renamed.

For me, everything seems to work without any problems, so far as I can
tell but the diagnostic output says otherwise.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Hi
I wouldn’t worry about it… Likewise I have no issues with 12.1.2, but
I only have office pro 2003 installed… and it gets used on occasions.
When the time comes that your missing a file, then maybe further
investigation is needed.

If the things you need work, then there’s not really a problem to solve
per se.
I use Crossover myself, and for what I use it for, it works fine.
Maybe those of us who use it on openSUSE should make sure Codeweavers
knows we use it. If anything, the libraries on openSUSE should be pretty
stable because of the policy of not upgrading versions during a release.

Nope, “Anderson” != “Henderson”.
I’ll probably install 12.3 on at least one system later this week
(current contract is coming to an end and I have a few days downtime for
tinkering), so if I do, I’ll see if I can dupe the issue.
