hi,
i recently uninstalled almost all of my programs, cleaned out the cruft,
and re-installed only the programs i was actually using. +2Gb yay!
well, since reinstalling acroread, i'm having problems getting it to run.
i vaguely recall having the same issue, when i first installed the program
many moons ago, but do not recall what to do to fix. here is the error
message:
> acroread
/usr/local/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading
shared libraries: libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file
or directory
> locate libXt.so.6
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6
i have tried with and without the following paths in my rc.conf file (with
reboot, naturally).
ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib
/usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/ /u sr/compat/linux/lib /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib
/usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib"
ldconfig_paths_aout="/usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout
/usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout"
this is the version i have installed:
acroread-5.08 View, distribute and print PDF documents
finally, the program was installed with portinstall, so all dependencies
should also have been installed. i do have linux_base_8 installed
*instead* of 7, but i fixed that dependency through pkgdb -Fu. (also, i
have had it working this way in the past, so this shouldn't be the
problem).
if anyone has any idea what might be wrong, please let me know.
