*** Bug 85254 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As mentioned in the README there is a small problem at startup of acroread with a library: "PPKLite.api Failed to Load PPKLite requires the OpenLDAP package to be installed on the system, and fails to initialize in its absence. If you get this error when acroread starts up, you will need to install the LDAP libraries (OpenLDAP package). If PPKLite still fails to load, make a link to the installed libldap.so.X and liblber.so.X in <Installation Directory>/Reader/intellinux/lib with the names 'libldap.so' and 'liblber.so'." Maybe we should depend on installing openldap. Another thing would be that /opt/Acrobat7/ is not in my PATH variable and I guess not in those of others too by default. So a symlink made during installing would solve this: ln -s /usr/bin/acroread /opt/Acrobat7/acroread or something like that. Best regards
thanks, fixed
Ebuild states that "The browser plugin does not work on firefox 1.0.1 (yet)" - why? It works ok: http://fatcat.ftj.agh.edu.pl/~nelchael/adobe7.png I have ff 1.0.1: nelchael@nelchael ~$ emerge -p acroread mozilla-firefox These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] app-text/acroread-7.0 [ebuild R ] net-www/mozilla-firefox-1.0.1 nelchael@nelchael ~$ At first it looked like it didn't work, but it just opened a 'Agree to licence' window in background and displayed white blank page in FF. Accepting the licence and restarting FF made the plugin work in FF.
