I recently upgraded from RC5 to FC6, and now Adobe Reader acroread is having problems. At first, I was having the same problem that was being reported earlier, namely that acroread loops forever while printing the message 'expr: syntax error'. And so I applied the change mentioned by Chris on 10/28/06 wherein he wrote:
1) Edit the file /usr/bin/acroread 2) Replace the line (originally line 418): echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]* \)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g' ...with the line: echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]* \)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
Now, acroread just exits immediately, without doing anything. Does anyone have an idea of what is going on? I am probably missing some package, but I have no idea what. Gary
