Dear linux_crazy!
Are you trying to compile it from a tarball? Why don't you try the rpm? Or a better solution: use kpdf. This is a pdf viewer for KDE, and it is faster, uses less memory, and it is the same quality as adobe reader. If you really need to compile it from tarball, did you check out the README or the INSTALL text files found in the package? You know, this problem occures, when there is a specific compilation procedure for the software, so the method should be written down in a text file included to the tarball.

Installing Adobe Reader from RPM
 

First go here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

Then click on Download Adobe Reader. When the download window opens you should see the file name "", select a folder and click OK. Once the download finishes, find the .rpm file, and right-click on it. One of the options should be "Install ..", highlight it, click OK and it should install.

Otherwise you can do it from the command line. You shouldn't have to compile from source with Fedora if there is an RPM available.

AFAIK, Adobe does not provide the source for their reader. Thus, you can only download precompiled binaries. You install this by unpacking the tarball you downloaded from Adobe's site, then
