can anyone please tell me where this error comes from? i am running fc1 and

have never seen it before:

Well, what I used to do to get around this:

export LANG="C"
Then run acroread.

Thanks a bundle! It works!! Do you (or anyone) know how I can get this to work
automatically? Where do I put this? Or is this some library that is missing and
has to be put in place?

Type 'which acroread' and edit that file (it is actually a script)
put the export line after the first line of the script.

This works for me, too.
I guess I still haven't got acclimated to *nix's lack of naming distinctions between binary and script executables.
