Ok, thanks! That solved the library problems (there were several more, as I'm sure you can imagine). Now I'm trying to run the program and I get:
$ /usr/X11R6/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/ENU/bin/acroread The OS named FreeBSD version 6.1-PRERELEASE is currently not installed. Try running on an installed platform and connecting to your display. Installed platform(s) include the following: Intel/Linux and when I try $ /usr/X11R6/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/ENU/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread I get /usr/X11R6/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/ENU/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread must be executed from the startup script. The archives tell me that I need to just run the usual script, per usr/ports/UPDATING: Check /usr/ports/UPDATING It says: "The command filename is ${PREFIX}/bin/acroread as before..." But when Ido that I get acroread5. So I've tried to deinstall that but I'm having problems: $ sudo pkg_deinstall acroread5 Password: ** No matching package found. $ cd /usr/ports/print/acroread5 $ sudo make deinstall make: don't know how to make deinstall. Stop So, I suspect that I need to deinstall acroread5, and then probably figure out how to point to acroread7. Any suggestions for the first step will be warmly apprecaited. Thanks very much for the assistance already! Best wishes Andrew Date: Sat, 6 May 2006 09:45:07 +0400 From: " ??????? ?????????
