Hi all, Debian stable contains xpdf-reader Version: 1.00-3 and that is what I have currently installed. I have just pulled down xpdf version 2.02 from foolabs.com and compiled it. It works fine but I have not yet done 'make install'.
Whats the procedure in Debian with regards to the packaging system when you install a more up to date version that isn't available in apt-get ? I can just remove the existing xpdf-reader but are there other options? In this case xpdf is not needed for anything i.e. nothing depends on it so it's easy to remove. If there were things that needed a pdf viewer that would be more troublesome. Certainly I gather doing an install over the top of an existing package would confuse the packaging system.
