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 Posted by mikshaw on Oct. 01 2005,05:03
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. < http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/damnsmall/mydsl/ > Posted by brianw on Oct. 02 2005,23:44
What about Xpdf? Will it read the pdf files you need to view?
