Note

There is a misformed expression in the acroread script. If you receive the error 'expr: syntax error' when attempting to execute acroread, then you will need to edit the acroread script.

Open /usr/bin/acroread with any text editor. Look for this line:

echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'

Replace it with this line:

echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
