Don't think so. If it's statically linked, it is a self-contained binary and doesn't depend on any external libraries. You might try "acroread -h" and see what options it has. It might have a "verbose" or "debug" mode you could use to see what is going on. In the old days, if you didn't pass it a file to process (e.g. just ran "acroread" and not "acroread /path/to/file.pdf"), it started but was iconified or hidden. I have no idea what acroread does now...I use evince or ghostscript to deal with PDFs most of the time. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - Okay, who put a "stop payment" on my reality check? - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
