I found a new interesting program to view pdf files quicker: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_linux.php
the downloaded binary doesn't work. it says: ./ReaderLinux: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The link listed in the original post looks to be an old one. Perhaps the newest version (2.0) will work: http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/
No progress here for 1 year; closing WONTFIX. Feel free to reopen with an ebuild.

new Foxit 1.0-1 version is released. I've made a ebuild which based on cdf@newsmth 's work (bug#175880). Since it not merged into main repository, so I put it at gentoo-china overlay. Hope helps (In reply to comment #6)

I have sent the patch to the maintainer in the overlay. And attaching the diff against the above ebuild.

Created attachment 209327 [details] Manifest for app-text/foxitreader-1.1.0, and md5sums of used libraries. The ebuild is working. Inserting the line sed -e 's:export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="":export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".":g' -i usr/bin/foxitreader in beginning of function src_install() fixes a bug. I had one missing library (/usr/local/lib/libgnutls.so.13.0.9), found on my oldest gentoo installation. I attached the md5sum of all libraries used on my system, so that others lacking some libraries may crawl for them. With this library, FoxItReader works well, I can comment PDF files without Acrobat. I also added the version of the Manifest that I found in this overlay.
FYI, I opened bug 308147 to request inclusion in portage. That bug also includes an updated version of the ebuild, with support for amd64 among other things. I recommend posting future comments to that bug instead of this one, given that this one has been closed for nearly 3 years as WONTFIX.
