The instructions to install on 64-bit Linux are found on :

It states:

Second, if you wish to install either the RPM or Debian package
(.rpm or .deb), then you may need to instruct your package installer
to 'force' the architecture.

For RPM files, the command is:
sudo rpm -Uvh --ignorearch crossover-XXX.rpm

I'm running RHEL 5.2 (x86_64). I get the following error when I try to install crossover:

[root@new-host-2 ~]# rpm -Uvh --ignorearch crossover-standard-demo-7.0.2-1.i386.rpm 
error: Failed dependencies:
    libXmu.so.6 is needed by crossover-standard-demo-7.0.2-1.i386
    libXpm.so.4 is needed by crossover-standard-demo-7.0.2-1.i386
[root@new-host-2 ~]# find / -name "libXmu.so.6"
/usr/lib64/libXmu.so.6
[root@new-host-2 ~]# find / -name "libXpm.so.4"
/usr/lib64/libXpm.so.4

As you can see, the shared object libraries do exist on the system. BTW I receive the same error if I leave out the --ignorearch option.

What is the recommended way to install crossover on RHEL 5.2 (x86_64)? Is it safe to use the sh file installer? Are any options needed? Thanks.

I'd recommend going ahead and trying the .sh installer instead. You shouldn't need anything extra, other than maybe setting the .sh file executable (chmod 755).
