I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0 to test some problems I was having with pdf file compatibility. It worked for a bit, even integrated with firefox. I installed it in /opt/Acrobat-7.0 - which is it's default.
Sometime later it stopped working - I'd just get the splash window and then it would silently disappear. No log, no error message. It didn't matter if I was root either. I tried re-installing, but no dice. Since it was only there to do some diagnostics, it wasn't a big thing. Anyway, I found a fix. I added /opt/Acrobat-7.0/Reader/intellinux/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and ran ldconfig. Everything now works again. Now I know what that does - it make the libraries in that dir searchable by the loader (adds then to the search path). What I don't understand is how it ever worked BEFORE I did this, and what I could have done to make it stop working. Any ideas?
