but when I run the command acroread the Adobereader won't start and nothing shows in /var/log/messages.
I Downloaded the AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin and installed it on a NEW F20 Box and it works perfect.
But on two other previous boxes I uninstalled AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm that will not execute and installed the AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin, it installed with no problems, but I'm still back to the old thing, it will not execute, just a flash of the Red Adobereader Splash screen for a second and then nothing.
There has Got to be something with Ferdora 20 that is causing this problem, now I have got two boxes that will not work with AdobeReader-9.5.5 on Fedora 20.
I have to have AdobeReader-9.5.5 , because the FOSS pdf readers will not allow me to Edit and Print PDF files Online at the Boy Scouts of america website.
I forgot to add , I'am running a 32 bit Fedora-20 install on all of the boxes.
I'm not using proprietary closed source software, but try running it from a command line to see if there is any error from the program. You can also try to check if it is missing any library (if it is not statically linked) with 'ldd <binary>', also if you have SElinux enabled (which is default on Fedora) check for its messages (I think in /var/log/audit/audit.log) (maybe it blocks some "actions" from you software, and if it does, you can temporarily try disabling SELinux and testing it again)
