You do not need to compile acroread. It is a programme binary. Al you have to do is make the install script executable with chmod +x script_name and then execute it with ./script_name (Do that all as root) Or install Texstars RPM instead. If you are running 9.2 you should still be able to use the 9.1 version. derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
