MaikelG · 2006-05-27 11:49:28

Hi there!

My acroread won't start anymore :?
When i try to start it nothing happens and there is no output when I start it via shellcommand: acroread!

Anyone any hint???

Try moving your .adobe directory so that a new one gets created.

if you have scim, change your IM_MODULE.
from scim to xim

export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
export QT_IM_MODULE=xim

if [ "$GTK_IM_MODULE" = "scim" ]; then
        GTK_IM_MODULE=xim
        export GTK_IM_MODULE
fi

That`s allready in /usr/bi/acroread

Type:

strace acroread

Then copy the last 20 lines or so and post them here.
note
You may need to install strace:

su -c 'pacman -Sy strace'

That command will ask you for root password.

Or try reinstalling acroread.

Oh... It has to do with the new version of gcc (libstdc++.so.5)
I guess I have to wait till a new version of Acroread will the the light of day...

Snowman · 2006-05-27 21:20:12

It looks like you are using the gcc/glibc from testing. If it's the case, install libstdc++5 from testing. It should fix acroread.

twiistedkaos · 2006-05-27 23:25:46

Indeed, you can jsut install libstdc++5 and it will fix the problem. Strace lets you know

oseb · 2006-05-28 00:13:08

it's strange.
i have no ibstdc++5, using testing. but acroread-kor works fine.

$ ls -l /usr/lib/libstdc++*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1943026 2006-05-26 04:31 /usr/lib/libstdc++.a
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2006-05-27 10:12 /usr/lib/libstdc++.so -> libstdc++.so.6.0.8

Yepp, that did fix the problem.

This happens when a noop with bad english tries to understand the english news!!!
I understood the news about the new gcc version totaly wrong.
Thought i have to wait till an acroread version which is compiled with the new gcc will be released... :oops:

Cotton · 2006-06-25 22:47:03

I had to reinstall libstdc++5 again (not from testing), to get acroread to work beyond the splash screen. All other symptoms were as described previously.

And this was post the big upgrade, which seems strange.

Still, it solved the problem.

You probably had to reinstall libstdc++5 because of an old pacman bug that happens when files move from one package to another one.
