Installing AdobeReader in Slackware64
 

Dear LinuxGurus @ LinuxQuestions;

I've just recently installed Slackware64 release 13.1 in my HP6910p laptop for the first time. I am a new to Slackware, a "Slack-Baby" if you will, but I am not new to UNIX/Linux. I've built several desktops and a few laptops using Fedora & UBUNTU. But, I really wanted to get to know the Slackware. I was told that if you really want to learn LINUX, Slackware is the way.

Anyway, I realize Slackware provides a PDF reader, but I wanted to learn how to install AdobeReader, which only runs in 32bit, to my Slackware64 platform. In that way, I would learn about dependancies, etc...

Can someone help w/ this newbie question?

Respectfully,

antonio

if it runs 32bit then run alien bob's AKA Eric Hameleers a slackware contributor-slackbuild.org multilib here read it all scroll to the bottom you will see the pacages
how to copy all of the packages at one task. but that is in the second paragraph . good luck
you will find adobe reader very limited to the open source stuff adobe writer is different. I just use open office for that.

Alternatively you may like to install eVince, also known as Document Viewer. It is more fully featured than Slackware's Xpdf and available as a SlackBuild which builds to a 64-bit executable on Slackware64.

Awesome Info - Thank!
