I have had Adobe Acrobat Reader 7.0.1 installed on my CentOS 4.2 desktop and it worked fine. After upgrading to 4.3, I can't get it to come up anymore. I downloaded Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 and it does the same. I'd appreciate any suggestions on what to look for, since the executable and the startup scripts are not giving me any useful errors to chase.

killall -9 acroread
and then try using acrobat reader again

I just tried my old 7.0 and it worked fine. I'm full up-to-date with 4.3 and even a couple of fasttrack items. Nothing special here.

Works fine here on my CentOS 4.3 system what was updated from 4.2 via yum. I'm using Acrobat Reader 7.0.1. What happens if you use strace to capture the system calls? Do the following and then examine the last few lines of strace.out for possible clues:
# strace -o strace.out acroread
Hope this helps, Alfred

Its working perfectly here. I removed the previous one and installed 7.0.5 afresh.
$ grep Adobe /var/log/rpmpkgs AdobeReader_enu-7.0.5-1.i386.rpm

Thanks to Alfred for the reminder about strace. That showed me that I had managed to somehow leave the compat-libstdc++-33 package uninstalled on the systems I was using to test this issue, as well as the desktop where I first found it.
Both Acrobat Reader 7.0.1 and 7.0.5 now work fine, and I can again use it to view online statements from my creditors. ;^>
