Yum does install AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm but when I
run the command acroread the Adobereader won't start and
nothing shows in /var/log/messages. <br>

I think it's because the name of the command is now changed. No
longer "acroread" but "AdobeReader." Note: that's
case-sensitive.<br>
<br>
"Acrobat" is now reserved for the PDF <i>editor</i>.<br>
<br>
And by the way: the latest version is more than a year old.<br>
<br>
Where can we find a side-by-side feature table for Adobe Reader
v. Okular, or whatever the favored PDF viewer is for Gnome?<br>

Hi,<br>
If the rpm being installed is the one supplied by Adobe, the
command provided is "acroread". On my system the rpm installed its
files into /opt/Adobe, check that the acroread file is executable
and that you have read/write access to all files/folders within
that path. I had an issue with acroread, whereby when I ran it, it
produced a dialog complaining of a file read error and wouldn't
run, I also received the same error when I clicked on widgets to
add them to my development project in Windowbuilder within
Eclipse. This error turned out to be a corrupt profile in
~/.adobe/Acrobat which, when I deleted that directory, and acrobat
recreated it resolved my problems.<br>

I deleted the ~/.adobe/Acrobat directory and restarted acroread, and
it attempts to run and then immediately shuts down.<br>
