Hi all,
I installed the Adobe Reader of version 7.0.
When I am trying to open this application ,a splash appears
and then disappears.
The adobe application is not opened.....
Will there be any dependency RPMS for Adobe to work.....


Thanks In Advance,

run the reader in the shell terminal. that way you'll get to see any output and/or error output.

Nothing is happening when I run from shell also,........

I got the solution for this.
compat-libstd++-33....RPM should be installed for acrobar reader
to open.......

I have the same problem under FC5.

No problem under FC4

The answer is right on the post above yours. Install compat-libstdc++-33.

is compat-libstdc++-33 the rpm name?

Yes thats right.

I did the yum but...

FC5 rpm gives conflicting states:
landon (root) ~/AdobeReader [1008]>!996

Your package is already installed. When rpms have been installed you do not refer to them by the ful name, version and rpm extension. You refer to them by name or name and version e.g. AdobeReader_enu instead of AdobeReader_enu-7.0.5-1.i386.rpm. To uninstall the package you would do,

landon (root) ~/AdobeReader [1007]>rpm -e AdobeReader_enu
landon (root) ~/AdobeReader [1008]>!984

What distribution are you using?

all this Adobe Reader stuff worked in a heartbeat under FC4.

I installed FC5 from scratch...no update/upgrade.

maybe first reverse the yum for compat-libstd++-33

What are the results of running,
and

landon (root) ~/AdobeReader [1001]>rpm -qa | grep -i adobe
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.5-1
landon (root) ~/AdobeReader [1002]>rpm -qa | grep -i compat-libstdc++
compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-135
compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-55.fc5
