I don't find any problem with KghostView after installing AR 7.0. It wroks as good as it used to. How did you install your AR 7.0? I just downloaded the RPM from adobe.com and made no other effort to install it. Q.H. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] Acrobat install error
Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I was root when I tried it. I tried again but no joy. Have to admit I'm a little frustrated trying to get linux setup. Can't seem to get kde running either. Hmmm...sounds like you've got all kinds of problems. I've done at least a dozen installations of Linux (several flavors) and haven't had any major problems except for on my HP machine, which is one of those "package it up so we can sell it cheap" machines and it's got a bunch of HP OEM video stuff and a Winmodem in it. Getting the video functioning took a bit and there's nothing I can do about the winmodem. Just for kicks, why don't you go to /usr/local and see if you can find the Acrobat4 directory. If it's there, check to see if acroread is there. It could be that the error was generated because the file is already there. Why the Acrobat script doesn't put that executable in /usr/local/bin is beyond me but because it doesn't, the executable isn't on your path so you wouldn't even know it was there. Cheers --- Larry

Would it also give this method if it were trying to install when the program was already there? I had a similar error and guessed that to be the cause. -Gary- I just finished suggesting that and I think you're right. It's unclear to me why this program is stuck in /usr/local/Acrobat4 rather than in /usr/local/bin as it really makes it clumsy to operate it. This is one of the things I really DON'T like about Linux and rpms. You give up control over application location and there doesn't seem to be any adherence to any standard locations on the part of the distros or by the app developers. I've heard that there's a set of "Linux standard base" (I think) but I don't see much evidence of it. Cheers --- Larry

Re: [newbie] Acrobat Reader
Ok. Then diagnose. If you installed it, then you can do a couple of things. First, do you normally type commands as root or as user? Root and user have different search paths for commands. For instance, if the acroread was installed in /usr/local/bin root cannot run it (and shouldn't). You need to find out where acroread is, so be root and type "updatedb" which updates your "locate" database (good thing to do after installing new software). When that is done then (again as root) "locate acroread". You will probably get the location "/usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread" which is not in anyone's search path. What you have to do now is "cp /usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread /usr/local/bin/acroread" (all without the quote marks) and then your user command "acroread blahblah.pdf" should work. Hope this helps.

This is another newbie so excuse the stupid question. Should it be copied or "moved"? That is, is it important not to delete the original location? cp means copy. Better still, is there a way to tell Linux where to install the application? Did you see a question concerning this during installation? If no, then there is none (if you installed the RPM). If you installed from TAR.GZ there are ways to manipulate things (but only do that if you know what you're playing with.) Paul Ok. Then diagnose. If you installed it, then you can do a couple of things. First, do you normally type commands as root or as user? Root and user have different search paths for commands. For instance, if the acroread was installed in /usr/local/bin root cannot run it (and shouldn't). You need to find out where acroread is, so be root and type "updatedb" which updates your "locate" database (good thing to do after installing new software). When that is done then (again as root) "locate acroread". You will probably get the location "/usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread" which is not in anyone's search path. What you have to do now is "cp /usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread /usr/local/bin/acroread" (all without the quote marks) and then your user command "acroread blahblah.pdf" should work. Hope this helps.

Re: [newbie] Acrobat Reader
I know it might be confusing, but you learn by doing. I
remember the first few fitful times I tried installing/using
Linux. It is confusing as hell coming straight from Macs or
Windows.
You might want to figure out the problem with your command
line. If you can link a KDE icon to the command, but cannot
type the command, it might be useful to see why that
is. For instance, if your command prompt is to the right of
a hash mark ("#") then you are running as root and cannot
execute /usr/local/bin commands. If the prompt is next to
"$" then you are running as user and the former reason does
not apply. Which is it?
Phil
P.S. If you used the graphical login did you log in as
root? If so, you can type the full /usr/local/bin/acroread
command and it should work anyway. It's best though to log
in as your username.

[newbie] Acrobat Reader
Hi all, I have an ongoing problem with Acrobat Reader. I have d/l'd both tar and rpm. I have installed both, and put an Icon on the KDE desktop. But I'll be darned if I can get the thing to run. The icon won't connect. I can bring up the readme file and so forth, but when I go to the icon or bring up a pdf file I can't get it to show up in acrobat. The downloaded files are; bin, browsers, reader, and resource, with mulitple files within those folders. Can somebody give me a clue as to what I am missing in order to use the e-books that came with my distro. Thanks,-- Dennis-Registered Linux User #180842
Re: [newbie] Acrobat Reader
Hi. If you have the cd with the e-books you do not have to download anything. The Acrobat Reader is in a file called linux-ar-40.tar.gz. Copy that file to /tmp then do # tar xzvf linux-ar-40.tar.gz ... then go to the directory it creates and run (as root) # ./INSTALL The principle should be the same even if you downloaded the tar file. Then when you want to read a pdf file you use the command "acroread" followed by the name of the file. (That is: open an xterm and type on the command line "acroread thisfile.pdf") Phil On Wed, 12 Jul 2000, Dennis Myers wrote: » Hi all, I have an ongoing problem with Acrobat Reader.

Hi,
I am using MDK7.1. However, upon checking Disk 5 of my PowerPack MDK7.0,
I found an rpm
I don't think you'll find any rpm on Adobes' site.
I can always send it to you as an attachment. I have to finish some work
that I brought home. Then, I'll reboot into my Linux partition, fire up
Netscape and send it to you.
