Fedora 20 /KDE

yum -y localinstall AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm 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.


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.
