Hello,
I'm getting a crash with acroread on my CentOS7 (AdobeReader_enu-9.5.5-1.i486). I install the official rpms from ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/, tried 9.5.5, and former v9, v8, v7.
/usr/bin/acroread loads well, but when you click a menu, bang. Same if you start acroread w/ a .pdf filename in parameter, the window opens up then crashes.
I modified the acroread script to run the binary from within gdb, I get this:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xf5437cee in compute_face () from /lib/libcairo.so.2
Unfortunately, the system completely hangs when it happens (acroread from gdb) and I must kill acroread from a tty, so I cannot get a more detailed backtrace for now.
Is that something somebody here already saw?
Regards,

Support for AdobeReader on Linux ended more than 4 years ago. It would be better to use evince, atril or okular.

Well, yes, I've set Atril, which is installed by default, to be the default app now. Thanks :-)
I'm still using acroread on CentOS6 (other computers than this C7 one) and never had a single problem.

That is because the compiler/glibc is from more than 4 years ago there. But, it isn't secure now (adobe reader on linux)
