If so, how? After reading your email, I tried installing Acrobat Reader 9.5.5 on a fresh SL 7 system and the only problem I encountered was that the depreciated pangox libraries are no longer included with the pango package. I compiled the library from source and once I ensured all the dependencies were met, I had no issue starting up acroread. In your case, the repository you added provides a suitable pangox-compat package, so as you seem to describe, yum should have automatically taken care of the dependency resolution. Can you post the output you receive when you try running "acroread" in a terminal? Brandon Vincent

Unlike Wine that has some issues with executing various MS Windows applications, if the application runs in the release of MS Windows you have, it will run under MS Windows under Virtual Box.

Adobe Acroread linux current on SL 7
I fully understand that there are "open source" PDF readers. I use a number of these, as well as Qoppa PDF Studio Pro (under license for fee) as a Linux replacement for Adobe Acrobat. (PDF Studio Pro provides essentially all of the features I need that are provided by Adobe Acrobat -- and Adobe refuses to port Acrobat to linux.) Nonetheless, I attempt to keep a functioning copy of Adobe Reader (acroread) on my workstation. This was not an issue under EL 6. However, the most recent (last) Adobe Acroread rpm does not run. I followed http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-acrobat-pdf-reader-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ 3b. Install Adobe Reader (acroread) on CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL) 7 Note: On x86_64 bit system, 32-bit dependencies is also installed. end quote. With the IA-32 dependencies supposedly installed (yum install of the Adobe acroread RPM was successful), the application fails. Does anyone have SL7 acroread working? If so, how? I really do not want to invoke Virtualbox to run MS Win 7 pro to run the MS Win version of acroread. Yasha Karant
