[ILUG] Adobe Reader crashes on RH8

[Leccardi, Diego]

I had the same problem and the solution is to edit the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n and change this line:

from
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

to
LANG="en_US"

Restart XWindows and it should be fine

Hi,
downloaded AR 5.0.6 from adobe.com 
Unpacked as per directions.

kinsella at jkcray:~ > acroread
Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".
Aborted
kinsella at jkcray:~ >

I note in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.dir
the comment:
# Note: The UTF-8 locales don't work correctly yet. Work in progress.

could this be the problem?

(Redirected strace acroread to logfile but didn't spot anything that
helped me.)

Any tips?

(Normally use xpdf but as my students use AR on MS Windows would like to
check my pdf files look ok with that reader.)

Thanks,

John
