Acrobat Reader and missing libraries

Acrobat Reader and missing libraries

Post by Paul Hughe » Tue, 10 Aug 1999 04:00:00



I am trying to install Acrobat Reader on my Linux system, but it persists
in crashing whenever I attempt to actually display a PDF document.  When
I run "ldd acroread" to check for shared libraries, it reports, inter alia,

        libm.so.5 => not found
        libc.so.5 => not found

But when I run "ldconfig -p" to find out what shared libraries are in the
search path, it finds both of these links; I have also checked and the
files linked to actually exist and are shared objects.

Does anyone have a clue?

PS.  I also added /usr/local/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf
and ran ldconfig to add some other Acrobat-specific libraries to the search
path.

 
 
 

1. Acrobat Reader as default PDF reader

I want to install acroreader 4.0 as my default *.pdf reader. I've
already edited a KDE-Mimelink - the acrobat 4.0 works fine, but if I
click on a pdf-file the PS Viewer pops still up. I think i'm missing to
disable a declaration which links the pdf files to the PS Viewer, but i
don't know where ?
Thanks for any help
