>Description:
The location of Acroread7-7.0.1 has changed, and is not reflected in the in the configuration of linuxpluginwrapper 20050910. This also breaks a symbolic link. The old acroread7 directory was something like /usr/X11R6/share/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so; the new location is /usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so
This also breaks the symbolic link of /usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/nppdf.so.
Even with these issues resolved by hand, the Adobe Reader does not load into either Epiphany (1.6.0 or 1.6.5) or Mozilla (1.7.7 or 1.7.12). When trying read a PDF file from Mozilla, the shell reports:
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so [/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so: Undefined symbol "__strtol_internal"]
LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so [/usr/local/lib/acroread/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/intellinux/nppdf.so: Undefined symbol "__strtol_internal"]
and the PDF does not load.
The other plugins to lpw, RealPlayer and Flash, work fine.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the current acroread7 and upgrade the Linux_base and lpw ports. Attempt to read a PDF file with either Epiphany or Mozilla.
>Fix:
The paths can be changed manually, but the other problem cited still exists.
