Acrobat 7 does not run in FC4 3.92

[Chandana De Silva]

I have just discovered that Acrobat Reader 7 does not run. It does not
give an error message, but simply exits.

This is the binary version (tar.gz). The rpm version cannot be installed
because of missing dependencies.
root@chandana other]# rpm -ivh AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-2.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libstdc++.so.5 is needed by AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-2.i386
        libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-2.i386
        libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.0-2.i386

Is there a set of compatibility that can be installed to resolve this ?

Try the compat-libstdc++ package in rawhide and see if that helps.

Chandana,

It's more than likely that Acrobat is still expecting to find gcc-3.2
libraries to work with.  Since Fedora has moved to gcc-4.0, you'll (more
than likely) need to add the libraries above to satisfy it's needs.

I guess we can all expect a little of this with 3rd party software while
others catch up with the compiler changes.

All,
Many thanks to every one who replied this.
Installing compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-47.fc4 fixed the problem.
