I have installed the adobe acrobat reader in my computer (HP - Ubuntu 7.04 - Feisty Fawn - 64 bits), but it doesn't start.

When I try to start it from terminal emulator:
rober@rober-laptop:~$ acroread
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

I search for the libgdk_pix.... but it is not available for 64 bits.

Is it possible to use acroread in 64 bits linux system?

Can anyone say me which is the way to resolve this problem?

Roberto,

Adobe Reader requires 32-bit versions of libraries to be present on the system. These might be installed in /usr/lib32 on your machine. You'll need to add these directories to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable:

bash$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib32:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Adobe Reader cannot run with 64-bit libraries - it is to be run in 32-bit emulation mode with the 32-bit versions of the libraries it depends on (GTK, etc).
