Bug#435121: A workaround to get acroread running

[Norbert Breun]

Hi there,


acroread still fails. To ship around this I did the following:


get a previous version of libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.13 , link it to
libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 and put it here:

    # pwd;ls -l
    /usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/lib
    total 3388
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      27 2007-08-04 22:45 libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
    -> libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.13
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3464056 2007-08-04 22:43
    libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.13

Save your original acroread file:

    cp /usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread
    /usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread.org

Edit acroread binary and add following at the top:

    # head acroread
    #!/bin/sh
    #
    export
    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0.1000.13

    setLangENU()
    {

Having this done acroread starts again. I hope this is helpful to
anyone. Possibly this is a hint where the problem may be...


Cheers
