If you have applied those patch lines from the URL given here several
times, then the next thing to check is:
[root at coyote usr]# which acroread
/usr/bin/acroread
[root at coyote usr]#
Ok, then an ls -l /usr/bin/acroread should return this:
[root at coyote usr]# ls -l /usr/bin/acroread
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mar 14
21:30 /usr/bin/acroread -> /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread
Those last 2 lines are in fact all one line, but word-wrap is on in kmail
here. The -> above (and the leading 'l' at the left end of the line)
means that /usr/bin/acroread is a softlink
to /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat9.0/bin/acroread
You can in fact setup a screen icon that points to either place with
identical results.
Does this not check out?
