Hi all, After browsing mailing lists for hours, I was finally able to install acroread8 on my FreeBSD 7.1R system. But it STILL does not start. Attached below is the output (repeated messages removed) : > Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": > libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory > > (acroread:9218): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Cannot open pixbuf loader module file '/etc/gtk-2.0/gdk-pixbuf.loaders': > No such file or directory > > (acroread:9218): GdkPixbuf-WARNING **: Error loading XPM image loader: Image type 'xpm' is not supported > > (acroread:9218): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed > > (acroread:9218): Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_window_set_icon_list: assertion `GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed > > (acroread:9218): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_width: assertion `pixbuf != NULL' failed > > (acroread:9218): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or dynamically loaded modules > were found.

I downloaded the latest ports tarball yesterday, did a 'portupgrade -rf emulators/linux_base-fc4', and [re]installed a number of ports (pango, linux-pango, cairo, linux-cairo, gdk-pixbuf, linux-gdk-pixbuf, pixman and may be a couple more). Then I installed acroread8. But it still does not start, as you can from the message above. Actually, there is at least one bug in the port as the message reveals. At runtime, acroread8 tries to look for /etc/pango/pango.modules, which - because of the port's linux heritage - translates to /compat/linux/etc/pango/pango.modules. This path is incorrect, at least with linux_base-fc4 - with which the correct path turns out to be /compat/linux/etc/pango/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/pango.modules in my case. The user has to fix it with a symlink himself. I am beginning to wonder why can't FreeBSD simply put on the distribution media binary packages for programs that almost everyone uses these days (thunderbird, acroread) and which take an immense amount of time/effort to build. The FreeBSD DVD is more than half empty and I am sure nobody would mind spending a couple of hours extra at download-time what possibly might save a couple of weeks and a whole lot of headaches at install-time. Anyway, if anyone has any clue how to get me out of this acroread mess, I would be really grateful. Thanks in advance Manish Jain invalid.pointer@gmail.com
