1. Install Adobe Reader.
Done.
2. Create a symbolic link to nppdf.so
to your Mozilla plugins directory.
Hmmm.... I tried removing the nppdf.so and replacing it with a symbolic link. No difference.
3. Ensure a copy of acroread is in your PATH.
That may be the problem: acroread
acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libBIB.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The same happens with root.
Alternatively, Adobe Reader 7.0 includes a script for installing the
browser plugin. This script is installed at the following location by
default:
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Browser/install_browser_plugin
Tried that. I had to choose Global (1) since I have it installed to /usr/local/firefox. It makes a
copy and not a symbolic link.
I think the problem is in this. If you think not, I shall try the manager et cetera.
