hi all. have an interesting problem. upgraded to the new adobe acrobat reader 7.0, but it fails to launch. just get a splash screen for a brief moment and then nothing.
starting from a console reveals to clues either. it starts and exits with no output whatsoever. starting as root or user makes no difference.
is anyone else having this problem? or better yet, managed to solve this problem?
thanks for any help

Try running it through gdb or strace, to get debugging output.

I am experiencing the same problem.
Here are the last lines of the strace output:

It starts fine for me. The only problem I had was a message about not finding a lib (it was starting anyway). Adding:
/opt/gnome/lib/gtk-2.0/modules
to /etc/ld.so.conf and running ldconfig solved that problem.

I just did that, but it still doesn't run.
It is probably something I won't have to fix when it will run

BTW, Is your system up-to-date?
Offline
Yes, pretty up-to-date.
I installed the new acroread with a pacman -Suy command.
