AdbeRdr-9.1.2-1 on x86_64

[Rob Healey]

Greetings:

I know that the main oncern right now is getting F12 F&F, but I have a need
to use AdbeRdr...

I am wondering why AdbeRdr wants to install 59 dependencies from i686
branch.  I have most of all the files that it says that it needs already
installed for x86_64 packages...

Can someone help me understand why I would need all of these extra 59
packages when I already have them installed???

Sincerely yours,
Rob G. Healey

Maybe you'll want to paste the exact output of yum when trying to install.

Because there's no x86_64 version of acrobat.

Hi Rob,

Most likely this happens because your AdbeRdr-9.1.2-1  rpm package is 
compiled for i686 architecture. Therefore all its dependencies are i686 
packages. Unfortunately the corresponding x86_64 packages you have 
installed can't substitute the i686 ones. So, you really need install 
those 59 packages. Or try to find AdbeRdr-9.1.2-1 package for x86_64.
