See the release notes. This is a known bug (with acroread), with a known work-around. Searched AcroRead README file and didn't see anything relevant. Are you talking about Phoebe release notes? Where do I find them? Thanks! |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030115 Description of problem: Downloaded acroread 5.0.6 (Linux version) from Adobe and installed as root. Made symlink in /usr/local/bin as root, then tried to run it as normal user. Got the following error messages: [david@localhost acro]$ acroread Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1". Aborted Program never starts. I reported the problem in the Adobe User's Support Forum, but &Deity. knows if anyone from Adobe will see it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download Acrobat Reader 5.0.6 (linux) 2. Install as root, make symlink to /usr/local/bin 3. As normal user, type "acroread" and hit Enter Actual Results: Aborted Expected Results: Licence dialog, then ability to use Adobe's reader (and browser plug-in after subsequent configuration) Additional info: It would be nice if there were a "Compatibility" component to raise these types of concerns.
