[SOLVED] acroread on 64bit - libgdk_pixbuf issue

Hello,

I have recently upgraded from 32bit to 64 bit.
Since I can't print with evince (kyocera printer at work got problems with that) I have to print with adobe reader.
Now the problem:
I have installed the lib32-glibc thing, and ls /usr/lib/libgdk* tells me that
I got libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 but somehow acroread doesn't find it.

"/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries:
libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Do I have to link the lib in another directory?

Thanks for any suggestions,
Rick

Re: [SOLVED] acroread on 64bit - libgdk_pixbuf issue

Acroread 9 working here.

# whereis libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0
libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so: 
/lib/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so 
/lib/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so 
/usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 
/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so 
/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0 
/usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so 
/usr/lib64/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0

The files above are simlinked to libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0.2600.5 in each of their respective directories.
/lib/ and /lib64/ and /usr/lib64/ are simlinked directories to /usr/lib/
I also see these files in /usr/lib32/ - although that may be a dead remnant from the past.

EDIT:  /usr/lib32/libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0.2600.5 is a different file size (67.2 kB) than in the other directories (68.1 kB).  This is probably the only 32-bit version of the file.

EDIT2: Corrected typo in filename libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0.2600.5

Hey David,

Thanks for your reply.
I also got the file in the other directories except the one in /usr/lib32/.
I guess I have to install the 32bit version somehow, since the files are not equal.
Does somebody know how to install the 32 bit version? I have [multilib] enabled.

EDIT: Installing lib32-gtk2 worked for me (and lib32-gdk-pixbuf2 with it, as dependencies)

Hey Rick and others here,
I'm relatively new to linux, running fedora 34.  I'm getting this error as well.  Do you know how I could solve this, step by step?
Any tips appreciated.  Thank you and hope to pay it forward if I can.

Error Message in Terminal:

We will not be able to provide step-by-step as Fedora is a much different beast than is Arch Linux.   My suggestion is to use your package manager to ensure libgdk_pixbuf_xlib 2.0 is installed.

Wow, that was a fast reply.   I'll check the package manager for fedora.  Thanks!
