hi, i recently uninstalled almost all of my programs, cleaned out the cruft, and re-installed only the programs i was actually using. +2Gb yay! well, since reinstalling acroread, i'm having problems getting it to run. i vaguely recall having the same issue, when i first installed the program many moons ago, but do not recall what to do to fix. here is the error message: > acroread /usr/local/Acrobat5/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libXt.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory > locate libXt.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 i have tried with and without the following paths in my rc.conf file (with reboot, naturally). ldconfig_paths="/usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/compat/pkg/ /u sr/compat/linux/lib /usr/compat/linux/usr/lib /usr/compat/linux/usr/X11R6/lib" ldconfig_paths_aout="/usr/lib/aout /usr/lib/compat/aout /usr/X11R6/lib/aout /usr/local/lib/aout" this is the version i have installed: acroread-5.08 View, distribute and print PDF documents finally, the program was installed with portinstall, so all dependencies should also have been installed. i do have linux_base_8 installed *instead* of 7, but i fixed that dependency through pkgdb -Fu. (also, i have had it working this way in the past, so this shouldn't be the problem). if anyone has any idea what might be wrong, please let me know. >> >> from /ports/emulators/linux_base-8/pkg-descr: >> If you want to run X11 applications, install the >> x11/linux-XFree86-libs port. >> hth >> ch > yes, christian, it helped enormously. thank you. not sure how i > missed that message, but am really glad that someone caught it. :) thank you very much, epi
