As I stated in my initial post, I *am* running acroread from the command line.
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>
try to uninstall the Acrobat, and delete all its folders ( usr/local/Adobe/.... ) and also its config. file under your users name, then install it again .
I made today a new install for my MK 2005 LE and installed again Acrobat 7 ( German Edition ) and everything went well, I used the tar version, do not install the Firefox plugin, there is a certain script under Adobe Acrobat which do the same Process, try to run it and then do this :
How do I install Acrobat Reader on Linux?
To install the Acrobat Reader plugin, copy nppdf.so to your Mozilla plugins directory, and make sure a copy of (or symlink to) the acroread startup script is in your PATH.
Note: Adobe Reader 7.0 includes a script for installing the browser plugin, although it is not run by default when you install it. If you installed Adobe Reader 7.0 to the default location, this script is at the following location:
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/install_browser_plugin
Hope this will work with you...
