Description Christian Andretzky 2006-01-24 14:02:11 UTC 
If I try to start acroread on a x86_64 system than it fails completely with the message 'Abgebrochen' in a german location. (Assume 'aborted' in a english location ;-) As far as I could see (strace) acroread is searching for the files /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules and /usr/lib/gconv/gconv-modules.cache.
The location of this files is only correct in a 32-bit system. In a 64-bit system these files are located under /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules and /usr/lib64/gconv/gconv-modules.cache. I've no idea if there a compatibility package exists, but if it should exist, at least the dependicies are not correct because such package ist not installed.

install the glibc-locale-32bit package.
Comment 2 George Horlacher 2006-01-31 23:33:04 UTC 
Marcus has the right answer.  There was another bug on this and this was the final result.  Adobe does not have x86_64 version for linux but the 32 bit one seems to work with the glibc-local-32bit package like Marcus says. Setting up requires for unsupported version is not going to work.
