eroica Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 hello, when I install acrobat reader i get the following: Enter installation directory for Acrobat 5.0.9 [/usr/local/Acrobat5] /home/cot/Adobe_Reader_5 Directory "/home/cot/Adobe_Reader_5" does not exist. Do you want to create it now? [y] y Installing platform independent files ... Done Installing platform dependent files ... Done ./INSTALL: line 219: ed: command not found ERROR installing /home/cot/Adobe_Reader_5/bin/acroread I seethe directory's installed but i cant get acrobat to start. On the plugins page for mozilla I see it says to make sure a copy of acroread is in path but i appended PAth in .bash_profile w//home/cot/Adobe_Reader_5/Reader/intellinux/bin which is where I see acroread but a echo $PATH command does not show the addition. What I'm looking to do is get acrobat working w/mozilla 1.5. I installed acrobat as regular user does that make a difference? any suggestions.... thanx alan p.s.- the ~/Adobe_Reader_5/bin/ directory only has acroread.sh file in it. the directory ~/Adobe_Reader_5/Reader/intellinux/bin does have a acroread binary in it....

eroica Posted August 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 thanx that would have worked but i dont have the 14mB in / that the rpm requires. I kinda suspected i might not have room there. i do have room in /home partition thats why i have to do this the hard way w/tar.gz installation. so if anyone has experience w/installing acrobat reader and tieing it in w/mozilla would much appreciate any advise.. thanx alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eroica Posted August 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2004 ok now i'm really confused. I installed the rpm referenced above on my laptop @ home where i have plenty of room. i used all the defaults but one problem there is no nppdf.so file installed anywhere. acrobat seems to work ok but mozilla does not recognize it obviously because there's no .so file. is the rpm corrupt or is there some other way 2 get nppdf.so and link it 2 mozilla??? alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
