Hi,
     If the rpm being installed is the one supplied by Adobe, the 
command provided is "acroread". On my system the rpm installed its files 
into /opt/Adobe, check that the acroread file is executable and that you 
have read/write access to all files/folders within that path. I had an 
issue with acroread, whereby when I ran it, it produced a dialog 
complaining of a file read error and wouldn't run, I also received the 
same error when I clicked on widgets to add them to my development 
project in Windowbuilder within Eclipse. This error turned out to be a 
corrupt profile in ~/.adobe/Acrobat which, when I deleted that 
directory, and acrobat recreated it resolved my problems.

regards,
Steve
