I'm trying to install RPM package Adobe Reader on Centos 6. I did a rpm -test -ivh on the package and it says it needs dependencies (many) Is a there a command to verify which exact packages it requires so I wont be installing software blindly.
"yum localinstall packagename" will give you a list of what it requires but since it won't recognize the signature on the acroread rpm it won't actually install anything. You can then "yum install" everything needed from the list that it generates.
Or you can install the adobe repository rpm and then just do "yum install packagename" and that will download and install everything for you.
You also might want to reconsider using acroread. I've found that the evince pdf reader that comes with Centos 6 is really good.
Besides that, looks like from the list it wants an older version of glibc, libpthread, atk, etc. If anything, I'd say this looks like it was built for RHEL5 instead of RHEL6, which doubly would make me not want to attempt installing it....

Hi, I executed on the command line of centos 6 "rpm -q glibc" and "rpm -q atk" after i installed adobe reader, and the output of both were : #rpm -q glibc glibc-2.12-1.25.el6_1.3.x86_64 glibc-2.12-1.25.el6-1.3.i686
#rpm -q atk atk-1.28.0-2.el6.x86_64 atk-1.28.0-2.el6.i66
I'm thinking that with the "el6", they along with the other dependencies adobe needed, were not downgraded
