Adobe reader won't install on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin)

Tags: #acroread #installatio_failure

I've tried the .bin file approach and the .tar.bz2 file approach and neither works.

When I invoke acroread, I get

 

drshred@merle:~/Downloads/AdobeReader$ acroread

/usr/bin/acroread: 22: exec: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: not found

 

Perhaps it's a 32-bit applications running on a 64-bit machine?

    hello.

     

    to install some packegs to Ubuntu, you should select .deb file. (because Ubuntu is baced on Debian.)

    if your Ubuntu is 64bit, you must install ia32-libs as below

    $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

     

    good luck!
