Hi, our public library uses Adobe Digital Rights Management. That means you download a paper/book and open it with acroread.
It used to work fine with gentoo ~amd64 but not with ~x86 and x86. (I assume it works with amd64 as well, can't just test it) Acroread always crashed, when I tried to open a drm-protected document on x84-installations. The reason is, that acroread (acroread-9.4.2) is installed as binary, but dynamically linked and when you open a drm-protected document, it tries to load the non-existing library /usr/lib32/libidn.so.11. To reproduce: in xterm: $ export ACRODEBUG=1 $ acroread now open drm-protected document dlopen: libidn.so.11: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This library is part of app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs-20110928 which is usually installed with non-x86 installations. So I installed emul-linux-x86-baselibs and did set a softlink from /usr/lib32/libidn.so.11 to /usr/lib. It works fine. But lately I ran into problems after upgrading gcc. I couldn't emerge qt-gui anymore. Actually I had to remove the link, rename /usr/lib32 and reemerge gcc. Then it was possible to emerge qt-gui. Any suggestions? Could there be a library on x86 installation, that one could use? Could I hide the library from ebuilds other than acroread? Should I file a gentoo-bug-report? Greetings Michael
