Re: [osol-discuss] Acroreader 9.1
We should all head over to Adobe's acroread blog and post comments thanking them for this...we've done enough whining, we may as well show our gratitude :-P http://blogs.adobe.com/acroread/ -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
[osol-discuss] Acroreader 9.1
Hi all, I just decided to check Adobe's ftp directory for acroreader and a new directory was posted for v9.1. It contains both x86 and x64 versions of acroreader. What it does not contain is a Sparc version. ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.1/enu/ Paul ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Do the tar balls contain binaries in standard SysV package format? No, it contains more tar archives and a shell script called INSTALL. Package format would be nice, but this was pretty painless to install. I just installed this and used it to view and print a handful of PDF files. This is so much better than the 20th century Acroread 4.x we had before that it's hard to describe. Now I never have to run Evince again!

Do the tar balls contain binaries in standard SysV package format? It is in both a tar ball and SVR4 pkg thus : # pkgadd -G -d ./AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i386solaris_enu.pkg The following packages are available: 1 ADBEreadr-enu Adobe Reader (i386) 9.1.0 Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]: Processing package instance ADBEreadr-enu from /export/home/dclarke/AdbeRdr9.1.0-1_i386solaris_enu.pkg Adobe Reader(i386) 9.1.0 Copyright: Commercial Using / as the package base directory. ## Processing package information. ## Processing system information. 9 package pathnames are already properly installed. ## Verifying package dependencies. ## Verifying disk space requirements. ## Checking for conflicts with packages already installed. The following files are already installed on the system and are being used by another package: /opt attribute change only * - conflict with a file which does not belong to any package. Do you want to install these conflicting files [y,n,?,q] y ## Checking for setuid/setgid programs. This package contains scripts which will be executed with super-user permission during the process of installing this package. Do you want to continue with the installation of ADBEreadr-enu [y,n,?] y . . . Note that it installs things in /usr/bin and /usr/local and it changes the ownership on /opt ( wrongly ) from root:bin to root:sys. It was built with GCC 4.1.0 : # mcs -p /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intelsolaris/bin/acroread | sort -u /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intelsolaris/bin/acroread: @(#)SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005 GCC: (GNU) 4.1.0 So that pretty much tells you that they stuck in libgcc_s.so.1 as well as a bucket of other things, none of which are in the RPATH/RUNPATH correctly. That exaplins the script to get it to work and hack in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH eenv var. Not a pretty package but it is a massive step in the right direction.
