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. -- I am working today; do not want to go anywhere. NANDYALA D. Gangadhar, EE and PAL/ECE, IISc., Bangalore 560 012.
