I have attempted most of the proposed "solutions" for this problem. Patching 3.02, using nopopler binary, using the oneiric package, etc, etc.
None (no not one) of them give a stable xpdf on my Ubuntu Precise 64-bit system: 3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 24 16:52:48 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Even though some of the proposed fixes prevent the crashes on startup. They none of them avoid a crash when repeatedly switching from full- screen/presentation to windowed by repeatedly hitting Alt-f. I have instead compiled xpdf 3.03 (not 3.02) from source as follows: Remove all xpdf packages. sudo apt-get install lesstif2-dev wget ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.03.tar.gz tar xzf xpdf-3.03.tar.gz cd xpdf-3.03 wget http://silas.psfc.mit.edu/xpdf3.03Viewer.patch patch < xpdf3.03Viewer.patch ./configure --with-freetype2-library=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ --with-freetype2-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 make sudo make install This gives a robust xpdf. The patch is a trivial cast correction. I found it necessary to correct a compile failure. Good luck to you all.
