Description:   Opened: 2004-04-28 06:51 0000
The ebuild installs the main binary but not the startup script. Attempting to
start the binary directly produces the following message:

sal@imelda sal $ /opt/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread
/opt/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread must be executed from the startup
script.
sal@imelda sal $

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unmerge app-text/acroread, manually delete the old startup script if you
have one.
2. emerge app-text/acroread
3. Try to start acroread by typing 'acroread'

Actual Results:  
Acrobat cannot be started because the startup script has not been copied / 
linked into /usr/bin 

Expected Results:  
If the startup script was there the program would have been executed normally. 

This is a recentish bug - boxes which had acrobat installed some time ago seem 
to work fine. This leads me to believe that Adobe may have changed their 
packaging structure.

don't know why it broke, but it's fixed now :)

Where did you find acroread script? It should be installed into
/opt/Acroread5/acroread. /opt/Acroread5 is automatically added
to your PATH by /etc/env.d/10acroread5 (you need to run env-update
if you want to update PATH before rebooting). If you had
acroread script at /usr/bin, I wonder where it came from.
