When I run the command acroread it is giving error
ERROR: Cannot find installation directory.
When I look at /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/ an exicutable file named acroread is there. When i run ./acroread from that directory it is working . What can i do so that I can give acroread command from anywhere . Can aliases help?
On " which acroread " command the following is displayed.
/sbin/acroread
I checked /sbin/acroread file it was a shell script. Not an exicutable. Then I renamed that file to acroread1 and create a soft link to the exicutable I mentioned earlier in /sbin.
so, if you run the program from within its own directory it works fine? but run from anywhere else, it fails? That is probably why there is a shell script to start it, but why put it in /sbin/ which is normally only in root users path, not a normal user.
You could create a new shell script which switches to the acroread bin directory, then runs the binary fromn there
