Re: Adobe Reader 9.5.4 on 64 bit Linux
Hello List, as Wheezy is on the edge to get stable, a good option would be either to wait for Wheezy or to migrate right now to Wheezy then make the Wheezy box a bi architecture one (i386+amd64), and then to install the acroread Multimedi-Debian deb ball.

Re: Adobe Reader 9.5.4 on 64 bit Linux
Thanks, Chris. I think that you have found at least part of the problem. I had run aptitude search which said it was installed. I had to go via Kwrite, so the command line bit is missing. So - where now? Install everything in the list that is not a dev file and is not installed?

Adobe Reader 9.5.4 on 64 bit Linux
In order to read a government form I need Adobe Reader 9.5.4. There is a deb file, but it is 32 bit. The system requirements demand 32 bit. The government form I require will not even allow attempts to open it with anything else. I have a 64 bit system.
