Ok. Then diagnose. If you installed it, then you can do a
couple of things. First, do you normally type commands as
root or as user? Root and user have different search paths
for commands. For instance, if the acroread was installed
in /usr/local/bin root cannot run it (and shouldn't).
You need to find out where acroread is, so be root and type
"updatedb" which updates your "locate" database (good thing
to do after installing new software). When that is done
then (again as root) "locate acroread". You will probably
get the location "/usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread" which is
not in anyone's search path. What you have to do now is
"cp /usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread /usr/local/bin/acroread"
(all without the quote marks) and then your user command
"acroread blahblah.pdf" should work.
Hope this helps.
