Yum does install AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.rpm but when I run
the command acroread the Adobereader won't start and nothing shows
in /var/log/messages.
Are you starting it from the desktop or from a terminal? If from the
desktop, is there anything in ~/.xsession-errors?
I suspect if you start it from a terminal command line, you might get
errors about missing libraries. Externally-packaged RPMs are notorious
for not including complete lists of requirements, although the
AdobeReader RPM does list a lot of them, so maybe it's not so flagrant
an offender.
I think it's because the name of the command is now changed. No longer
"acroread" but "AdobeReader." Note: that's case-sensitive.
"Acrobat" is now reserved for the PDF editor.
AFAICT, acroread is still the command.
$ rpm -qf `which acroread`
AdobeReader_enu-9.5.5-1.i486
I don't have a command starting with Ado*.
And by the way: the latest version is more than a year old.
Where can we find a side-by-side feature table for Adobe Reader v.
Okular, or whatever the favored PDF viewer is for Gnome?

No error message come up in ~/.xsession-errors
or
from the command line in terminal when running acroread.
