Certainly, I can't reproduce the symptoms you describe with the combination of linux_base-7.1 and either acroread-4.05 or acroread-5.05. Do you have any other linux packages installed, and do they show similar effects? pkg_info -R linux_base\* > I've never had to edit env variables to get that to work., and the > upgrade notes didn't mention (not that I recall, anyways) that this was > necessary., You would expect any software to behave sensibly whatever the locale settings are. If you specify a locale that isn't supported the program should report the fact and substitute one that does, or else print out some reasonable explanation and exit gracefully. > That said, I'm not sure that installing acroread5 would solve this? Neither am I, now. I'd be thinking along the lines of doing a complete deletion and reinstall of linux_base-7.1: tar -zcvf /tmp/compat-linux-backup.tgz \ /compat/linux /var/db/pkg/linux_base-7.1 pkg_delete -f linux_base-7.1 cd /compat rm -rf linux cd /usr/ports/emulators/linux_base make install I'm guessing that there might be remnants of the old linux_base around, fouling things up.
