Try to install it manually. :-) I don't have RH9 here so I don't know if the following will work: o download acrobat reader (linux-507.tar.gz) and save it to a temporary directory (for example: /tmp/) o issue the following: cd /tmp tar xvf linux-507.tar.gz mkdir /usr/lib/acroread cd /usr/lib/acroread tar xpf /tmp/LINUXRDR.TAR tar xpf /tmp/COMMON.TAR find -type d | xargs chmod 755 cd bin perl -pi -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@install_dir=/usr/lib/acroread/Reader@' acroread.sh install -m 755 acroread.sh /usr/bin/acroread o run /usr/bin/acroread HTH -- $_=q:; # SHERWIN # 70;72;69;6e;74;20; 27;4a;75;73;74;20; 61;6e;6f;74;68;65; 72;20;50;65;72;6c; 20;6e;6f;76;69;63; 65;27;:;;s=~?(..); ?=pack q$C$,hex$1; ;;;=egg;;;;eval;;; -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
