After recent upgrades, both acroread 8 and 9 quit working. When run
from a KDE Konsole, it gives no error message. It just doesn't start.
I have checked ldd and all of the libraries are present. I also
reinstalled the RPM.
I saw on Google that someone was having problems based on Xz and Libxml2
so I reinstalled them. This produced error messages while I was doing
that, but after I was finished they went away.
So, I have reached the conclusion that it is promptly crashing after the
actual application is loaded.
There was a discussion on Linux Questions about glibc-2.18 causing
similar issues under some circumstances but we are now up to glibc-2.25.
I looked and I never had installed 2.18.
Any suggestions are welcome. I have some files that require Acroread 8
and a plugin for it to view so using another PDF reader doesn't solve
the problem although I have several others on my system.
If this is a problem with GLibC, I presume that it is causing trouble
with something else as well.
