Has anyone gotten this to work?

If I setup acroread as a helper application I get a segmentation
violation on any PDF file. If I setup acroread as a plugin I get
a bus error.

Yes, I know RH 5.2 is glibc, and yes, Acrobat4 is libc5 (don't
ask me why Adobe did this). I've been running both glibc and
libc5 apps successfully since I upgraded to RH 5.2. It's beyond
me why acroread can't be started successfully from Netscape.

FWIW, acroread runs perfectly fine as a standalone app. Also I
verified that the helper syntax under Netscape is similar
to my configuration at work under Solaris.

Problem solved. I upgraded to RH 6.0 and also upgraded Netscape to
4.5.1-5 (the latest RPM) and the serious problems went away. There
is a minor error related to X on startup, but Acroread 4 runs fine
as a helper app now. Unfortunately I do not know what step solved
the "segmentation violation". RH 6.0, the new netscape rpm, or both?

I just got mine working, after Gerald Willmann told me to add %s
after acroread. I am also using RH 5.2, but with Netscape 4.51.
