Has anybody succeded in making AR5.08 working under FC1? I downloaded the file from Adobe and installed several times, but it still won't work. I even tried to just open the application in both locations (/usr/local/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread and /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread) but nothing happened, is there anything that I need to do? I think if this part is not working, the plugin won't work either.

Thanks in advance for your comment/suggestion

For the reader, you need to edit the launch script (/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread) to change the value of LANG to something that isn't UTF-8.


simply placing "LANG=en_US" near the top of the file, for instance, works for ugly Americans.

According to various sources, "LANG=C" or "LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1" (replace en_US with your preferred language code) work as well or better.
