I upgraded from FC5 to FC6 a few days ago (Dec. 17, 2006), and although the process was mostly painless, I found it tough to track down information about resolving some issues. So, I thought I'd collect some of what I've found here, in the hope that others might be helped:

Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.8

If you start this package from the menu, you don't see anything happen. I use KDE, but the behaviour is the same under GNOME. Starting from the command line gives an endless output of

syntax error
syntax error
syntax error

I found the fix here. The posting is in French, so for the sake of those who don't understand French, just give the command below as root.


cd /tmp
wget http://remi.collet.free.fr/files/acroread.patch
cd /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin
patch -b < /tmp/acroread.patch
