On one box I linked /opt/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread into /usr/local/bin and on the other into /opt/bin (I had added /opt/bin to the PATH variable in /etc/profile). That is what was causing the problem. I did some google searching and found that /etc/login.defs gets read in before the login process starts. So I updated ENV_PATH and ENV_SUPATH in /etc/login.defs to contain /opt/bin. I then rebooted the machine (it's a laptop and never gets much uptime anyway) just to be sure. However, this did not do it.Where the heck does /opt come in to the picture? Is that where you want to store non-dpkg-managed binaries?
Yeah. /usr/local for self-compiled and/or customized free software packages. /opt for non-free stuff (Acrobat, icc, etc). -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sanchez http://familiasanchez.net/~sanchezr
