Dear Lisi,

There has, I know, been quite a lot about 32 bit on 64 bit systems
recently. But I am not clear where I should start with this one.

Are you on Squeeze or Wheezy? For Squeeze, install the ia32-libs* and
then dpkg --force-architecture the Adobe Reader .deb

root@Tux-II:/home/lisi/Downloads# dpkg --force-architecture -i
AdbeRdr9.5.4-1_i386linux_enu.deb
dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled:

BUT I can't get it to run.  I have tried from the menu.  I have tried from
Krunner.  I have tried double-clicking the file.  Nothing.  I am still
getting the error message demanding a newer version of Adobe Reader.  Help!
all you lovely people.  Where now??


I think that I expressed myself badly.  To try again:
I go to the menu. I click on Adobe Reader. Nothing happens at all. I have tried to launch the application from the runner. Again, nothing at all happens. When I click on the file, nothing happens. If I right click on the file, I get offered various things with which to open it. None will open it. But Adobe Reader simply doesn't open.
The annoying and ridiculous thing is that I downloaded and opened quite a few pdfs from the same source only a month ago without any problems. And I can still open those. :-( 



and you are running Squeeze?
