Bugzilla Bug 85226

New Version of Adobe Acrobat Reader released. Corresponding ebuild needed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

i currently have no x86 box to test it

*** 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.
