AdobeReader crashes on SUSE 10.0 RC1 i386
I got AdobeReader_jpn-7.0.1-1.i386.rpm from Adobe site and installed in my 'SUSE 10.0 RC1 i386' box. But, when I want to start acroread, it crashes by segfault. Since the strace log is too large to attach, I put it on my server. http://61.26.3.112:30080/~helios/error_reports/AdobeReader_strace.txt Is there anyone who can explain why AdobeReader crashes? On my 'SUSE 10.0 RC1 x86_64' box, it seems everything fine. There was no need to install additional Japanese font packages in order to display Japanese PDF files. Thanks. -- □●□ _/_/_/ To be Happy! _/_/_/ □□● _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto _/_/ ●●● _/ helios_reds@gmx.net _/

As James Su already explained, the workaround is to use GTK_IM_MODULE=xim. The SuSE acroread package already contains that workaround: Wed Aug 17 15:03:07 CEST 2005 - mfabian@suse.de - Bugzilla #85416: add workaround to avoid crash when scim is installed (add "export GTK_IM_MODULE=xim" to the start skript). See the bugzilla report for details on why this workaround is necessary.
On my 'SUSE 10.0 RC1 x86_64' box, it seems everything fine.
The problem does not occur on x86_64 because acroread is a binary only package which is available only for i386. I.e. you have to use the i386 version also on x86_64. That happens to avoid the conflict of libstdc++ described in bug #85416.
There was no need to install additional Japanese font packages in order to display Japanese PDF files.
That is because of my hack /usr/sbin/acroread-cidfont-config (which is
in the ghostscript-cjk package). This script will make the CID-keyed
fonts from the package "CID-keyed-fonts-Wada" available for Acroread.
It wastes a lot of disk space because real copies of these fonts have
to be made into the acroread font directory. But it makes Japanese in
acroread work out of the box. The same works for Korean using
CID-keyed-fonts-Munhwa and for traditional Chinese using
CID-keyed-fonts-MOE. Unfortunately we do not have such fonts for
simplified Chinese.

Sigh... I'm not a registered beta tester, so I can't access to the bug report. (Access Denied: You are not authorized to access bug #85416.) How can I get the SuSE acroread package for openSUSE 10.0 OSS? Regards. -- □●□ _/_/_/ To be Happy! _/_/_/ □□● _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto _/_/ ●●● _/ helios_reds@gmx.net _/

Please try again, I've just fixed this (I could see no reason why the visibility of this bug needs to be limited to the registered beta testers, therefore I made this bug public).

I'm not sure yet. openSUSE 10.0 OSS will contain only open source
software, i.e. acroread cannot be in openSUSE 10.0 OSS because it is
not open source. But I heard that some non-open-source packages will
also be made available as addons when openSUSE 10.0 will be released.
Probably acroread will be included in these addon packages.

Hmm, I can access to the Bug #85416 now. I wonder what happened...

OK. I will wait. -- □●□ _/_/_/ To be Happy! _/_/_/ □□● _/_/ Satoru Matsumoto _/_/ ●●● _/ helios_reds@gmx.net _/
