Re: Adobe Reader 7.0.9 update on RHEL3 - gtk2 version problem

I did try the tarball.

I did this:
cd /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES/
wget http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/7x/7.0.9/enu/ 
AdobeReader_enu-7.0.9-1.i386.tar.gz
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/
wget http://dag.wieers.com/packages/acroread/acroread.spec
sed -i 's/7.0.8/7.0.9/g' /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/acroread.spec
rpmbuild -ba acroread.spec
rpm -Uvh ../RPMS/i386/acroread-7.0.9-1.i386.rpm

But when you launch acroread it gives a message about not finding GTK  
 >= 2.4 and quits.

Basically having the tarball doesn't help because it doesn't contain  
the source so you can't recompile against GTK 2.2 or anything else...  
I don't think that you'll get acroread on RHEL3 unless Adobe or  
RedHat package it, as no-one else has the clout to get the source.
