Re: Need help for acroread8
Hello Boris, I can't really explain how, but I have got acroread8 up and running on my system. All I did was deinstall and reinstall pango and linux-pango. I then created the following 2 symlinks : /compat/linux/etc/pango/pango.modules -> /compat/linux/etc/pango/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/pango.modules /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules -> /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules-32 Then I ran /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules as root, which populated pango.modules. Once that happened, to my surprise, acroread fired up and ran seamlessly. It still gives the warning about the missing libgnomebreakpad.so, like all other linux inherited applications do, but that appears to be harmless. Thanks for all the help.

Then I installed acroread8. But it still does not start, as you can from the message above. Actually, there is at least one bug in the port as the message reveals. At runtime, acroread8 tries to look for /etc/pango/pango.modules, which - because of the port's linux heritage - translates to /compat/linux/etc/pango/pango.modules.

The user has to fix it with a symlink himself. I am beginning to wonder why can't FreeBSD simply put on the distribution media binary packages for programs that almost everyone uses these days (thunderbird, acroread) and which take an immense amount of time/effort to build. The FreeBSD DVD is more than half empty and I am sure nobody would mind spending a couple of hours extra at download-time what possibly might save a couple of weeks and a whole lot of headaches at install-time. Anyway, if anyone has any clue how to get me out of this acroread mess, I would be really grateful.

Under Gnome epdfview and evince are very good alternative. Personally I've never used Acrobat Reader in any Unix-like system, but some people do have specific needs. If that's you case please raise a PR, otherwise just give a chance to other applications. If want to save building time stick with packages (smaller download and no compiling) but don't mix ports and packages if possible.

Until fairly recently, only CDs were built, and so the people making the distribution were somewhat conservative in their choice of software to include. And with a big DVD image both users and FreeBSD servers will have to cope with more network traffic. Also, everyone has their own ideas about what to include, and you can't satisfy everyone. I have been using FreeBSD for years now and I have never used any of the software that you mention. In this case, though, there is another constraint: the Adobe software has a more restrictive license which forbids redistribution, without going through the trouble of obtaining a Distribution License Agreement, renewing the license, determining whether you are in complicance, etc, etc. The FreeBSD project is generally opposed to using such software, and in any case they don't want to be burdened with legal rigmarole and expense. So you should complain to Adobe (good luck! ;) ) about this, not FreeBSD. (If you do, you can tell Adobe to get off their asses and build native FreeBSD binaries, so that you won't have to jump through all these hoops.) Have you examined your alternatives? There are a number of other PDF readers in Ports that don't have restrictive licenses, and don't require Linux emulation, and will serve just as well except perhaps on some very new PDF files with special features that aren't all that commmon and may not work anyway: 1) print/ghostscript, either by itself, or with one of it's many front-ends: print/gv print/gspdf print/gsview ... 2) a graphics/poppler based front-end: graphics/epdfview graphics/evince ... 3) graphics/xpdf 4) print/pdf-render
