comment out the line: check_gtk_ver_and_set_lib_path "$MIN_GTK_VERSION" to #check_gtk_ver_and_set_lib_path "$MIN_GTK_VERSION" This way you don't even worry about the Gtk version. For some other ideas go to the Adobe Users Forums: http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/ login as a guest, make your way to Acrobat Unix forum (I got there by going to Adobe Reader forum first). There are more complicated fixes suggested there. Greg
