Foxitreader won't start

Hello. I have Gnome running without extra. I did an upgrade with yaourt this morning. I also installed foxitreader. One install with yaourt and one downloading from AUR using makepkg -s and pacman -U. When giving foxitreader command in terminal I get command not found. How to start it?
I have removed file and libsmbios according to yaourt after upgrade as it told me they where orphans. Don't know if they are needed for foxit. Someone who has an idea?

Re: Foxitreader won't start

You get command not found? It says foxitreader is not found, or another name?

Re: Foxitreader won't start

What does "pacman -Ql foxitreader | grep bin" print out?

Re: Foxitreader won't start

I get "bash: foxitreader: command not found" and
foxitreader /usr/bin
foxitreader /usr/bin/foxitreader
foxitreader /usr/bin/fr

Re: Foxitreader won't start

In /usr/bin I have this:
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root         34 15 apr 08.04 foxitreader -> /usr/share/foxitreader/FoxitReader
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root         34 15 apr 08.04 fr -> /usr/share/foxitreader/FoxitReader

Re: Foxitreader won't start

I'm guessing that you're on 64 bit. If so, you don't have the proper lib32 libraries to run this program.

Re: Foxitreader won't start

I dont think so, that I'm on 64-bit. It's a fresh install on an Acer One 110 with arch-boot 2008-12 and
ftp as source. I have had foxitreader running before with the same install so if Arch has not  changed something so the install defaults to 64 it should be 32-bit. If I run "cat /proc/cpuinfo" I get this:

Is it a 64-bit install? Have never had any.

Re: Foxitreader won't start

Check if your path is set correctly in /etc/profile and/or ~/.bashrc

Re: Foxitreader won't start

jai134,

I believe that is a 32 bit chip, so my idea wasn't correct. Check out what Ashren said.

By the way, 'uname -m' will let you know what architecture that you have installed. On my machine it will print x86_64.

Re: Foxitreader won't start

Here is /etc/profile:
# Set our default path
PATH="/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin"
And uname -m:
i686
Thankyou. A new useful command.

Re: Foxitreader won't start

Sort of solved. I had another look in the foxitreader dir and found one more package. A foxitreader i386.tar.bz2. Untared it and went into it. In the new dir Foxit I can start foxitreader with ./FoxitReader. I did cp FoxitReader to /usr/bin and now it is running. Thankyou very much for your help.

Re: Foxitreader won't start

Strange.

When downloading from AUR did you download the foxitreader tarball (containing the install scripts) or just the PKGBUILD?

Re: Foxitreader won't start

I did download the tarball. I had a look at the homepage of foxit http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/desklinux/ and there I found this info about an upgrade with this package. I don't know if I have done it in the right order but it runs OK now
