Hello,
Again a root/user problem on FBSD-4.1.1R (See my mail about ssh/RSA).
I have installed acroread3 (from /dist/packages). While root can run
the program, user cannot. This is to do with the ldconfig. The problem
persists with ports/acroread4 from FBSD site.
[dhani@vasantam:p1 ~]% acroread4
[ nothing happens ]
[dhani@vasantam:p1 ~]% /usr/local/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread
/usr/local/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error in loading shared
libraries: libAGM.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
[dhani@vasantam:p1 ~]% ls /usr/local/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/lib
XKeysymDB libCoolType.so libICC.so.1.0
libAGM.so libCoolType.so.1.0 libreadcore.so
libAGM.so.3.0 libICC.so libreadcore.so.4.0
Nither ldconfig -r not /compat/linux/sbin/ldconfig -p has
/usr/local/Acrobat? in its list. Adding this dir using ldconfig -m didn't
help.
If this is of any consequence, one thing I remember doing after installing
4.1.1R is to give read permissions of /dev/null to all (o.w. ps etc. refuse
to work for users).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Gangadhar.
