(redhat null)

I have installed acrobat reader 5.0.6 as you suggested.
When I run it this happens:
Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".
Aborted

If I do this:
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1

And then starts acrobat reader /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread
it works!

Comment 2 Greg 2002-10-07 03:40:44 UTC
I had the same problem, so I added the line above:

export LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-1

to both the acroread script at:

/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread 

and the netscape script at:

/usr/local/Acrobat5/Browsers/netscape

and otherwise followed all relevant instructions on the setup of Acrobat. Unlike
before, now all is well, both when Acrobat is used on a standalone basis and as
a plug-in.

Comment 3 Need Real Name 2002-10-19 08:49:48 UTC
On RH 8.0, the acroread still cannot run due to the following error:
Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".
Aborted

I fixed it by editing /etc/sysconfig/i18n and change from
LANG="en_US.UTF-8" to LANG="en_US.ISO-8859-1". I am not sure whether there is
any side effects.

For Adobe Acrobat Reader and Mozilla plugin, you can conveniently install this RPM:

The latest versions of Sun Java works fine.

I recommend closisng this as NOTABUG.
