Hello everybody, I have managed to install Acrobat Reader 7.0 without
using the chroot, following the suggestions I have found on a debian
mailing list:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2005/05/msg00703.html
To summarize I did these steps:
--
1. Install ia32-libs (if you don't already have it);
2. Install ia32-libs-gtk (if you don't already have it);
3. Get the acroread debian package from
ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/a/acroread/
While you are at it, you may also get the extra plugins.
4. Install them it with dpkg -i --force-all. It wont go without force,
because it is the wrong architecture.
5. Edit /usr/bin/acroread. Towards the end, there is a line
exec "$ACRO_EXEC_CMD" ${1+"$@"}
Add
GCONV_PATH=/usr/lib32/gconv LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libpangohack.so.0.0
GDK_PIXBUF_MODULE_FILE=/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders32
at the beginning of this line, before exec.
6. Copy /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders to
/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders32, and replace all references to
/usr/lib/ with /usr/lib32/:
sed 's:/usr/lib/:/usr/lib32/:' < /etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders >
/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders32
7. To remove the warning during module loading:
rm /usr/lib/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/plug_ins/PPKLite.api

Now Acrobat Reader is working, I get only these warnings when I launch it:
--

But when I try to print anything, it crashes immediately without
giving any explanations.
Has anybody the same setup and can help me?
