49278 2004-04-28 06:51 0000 startup script not installed for app-text/acroread 2004-04-28 10:57:52 0000 1 1 1 Unclassified Gentoo Linux Ebuilds unspecified x86 Linux RESOLVED FIXED P2 normal --- 1 sal@stodge.org printing@gentoo.org sal@stodge.org 2004-04-28 06:51:42 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. lanius@gentoo.org 2004-04-28 10:47:36 0000 don't know why it broke, but it's fixed now :) usata@gentoo.org 2004-04-28 10:49:49 0000 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. lanius@gentoo.org 2004-04-28 10:57:52 0000 reverted my fix, since it was wrong, usata explained it ;)
