If you have applied those patch lines from the URL given here several times, then the next thing to check is: [root@coyote usr]# which acroread /usr/bin/acroread [root@coyote usr]# Ok, then an ls -l /usr/bin/acroread should return this: [root@coyote usr]# ls -l /usr/bin/acroread lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 40 Mar 14 21:30 /usr/bin/acroread -> /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/acroread Those last 2 lines are in fact all one line, but word-wrap is on in kmail here. The -> above (and the leading 'l' at the left end of the line) means that /usr/bin/acroread is a softlink to /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat9.0/bin/acroread You can in fact setup a screen icon that points to either place with identical results.
