Hello,

Allow me to start by saying that I am very much new to linux, so I am taking babysteps in getting everything set up.  My problem is this.

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 and followed the installation instructions.  When I try to run the program (acroread) it fails on me with the following error.

/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

However, the directory exists, and I see the so file.  Any suggestions?  Any environment variables I need to set that I haven't?  I'm willing to try anything at this point.

[edit] I failed to mention that I absolutely have to use Adobe's client, and not the xpdf that comes with the OS.

Thanks,
- Shibby

Are you sure that the so file you see is libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0?  This looks like a gtk2 library to me, which doesn't exist in the default DSL system.  You may want to try the gtk2 extension from the mydsl repository.

What about Xpdf?  Will it read the pdf files you need to view?
