[SOLVED] Adobe Acrobat and multilib

Thank you, longus. This can mean a lot of thinks. Since 32bit libstdc++ is concerned, it might be that somehow your version of the multilib packages is partly outdated or you have an old 32bit libstdc++ installed somewhere. To check this, you can print the shared object dependencies of your acroread binary with ldd.
Since istream_seekg is mentioned, it might also mean, that there is a corrupt file somewhere. I'm sorry to say, I can't really help you there.

Acroread is now working fine for me but:

When I went into my wife's login to configure things for 15.0 I found that it would not run until I copied in her old .adobe. So something is not quite right.

All --

I am crazy-busy at work and have no spare time right now but I am not done with this yet.

One thing I wonder: Why did acroread work for me on Slackware64 15.0 but not for anyone else ?

Another thing I wondered after joghi's great detective work is what OTHER packages are in MultiLib 15.0 but not in Slackware 15.0 ?

Here's a list of MultiLib 15.0 Packages that are NOT in Slackware64 15.0:

Code:

# ./find-extra-compat32-pkg.sh

a-compat32/openssl10-solibs-compat32-1.0.2u-x86_64-1compat32.txz
d-compat32/opencl-headers-compat32-2021.04.29-x86_64-1compat32.txz
l-compat32/libcroco-compat32-0.6.13-x86_64-1compat32.txz
l-compat32/qt-compat32-4.8.7-x86_64-17compat32.txz
l-compat32/expat-compat32-2.4.6-x86_64-1_slack15.0compat32.txz

Script is below my .sig

Finally, I wonder if Slackware64 15.0 should include libcroco ?

-- kjh

This is find-extra-compat32-pkg.sh

It works on my local repos ( Multilib and Slackware64 ) 15.0

Fix the two edit me paths for YOUR Local Repos.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

DoPath=0

[ "$1" = "-p" ] && DoPath=1 && shift

export MultiDir="/dld/15.0/multilib/15.0/slackware64-compat32"  # edit me
export SlackDir="/dld/15.0/slackware/slackware-15.0-64"         # edit me

export BaseDir="$SlackDir/slackware64"
export PatchDir="$SlackDir/patches/packages"

# all Slackware64 15.0 Package Groups

GrpLst=""            
GrpLst="$GrpLst a"
GrpLst="$GrpLst ap"
GrpLst="$GrpLst d"
GrpLst="$GrpLst e"
GrpLst="$GrpLst f"
GrpLst="$GrpLst k"
GrpLst="$GrpLst kde"
GrpLst="$GrpLst l"
GrpLst="$GrpLst n"
GrpLst="$GrpLst t"
GrpLst="$GrpLst tcl"
GrpLst="$GrpLst x"
GrpLst="$GrpLst xap"
GrpLst="$GrpLst xfce"
GrpLst="$GrpLst y"

cd $MultiDir

for g in $GrpLst
do 
   d="${g}-compat32"

   [ ! -d "$d" ] && continue

   for f in $(find $d -type f -iname "*.t?z")
   do 
 
      b="$(basename $f)"
      p="$(echo $b |sed -e 's/compat32//g' -e 's/--/-/g')"
      q="$BaseDir/$g/$p"

      [ -f ${q} ] && continue

      n="$PatchDir/$p"

      [ -f ${n} ] && continue

      if [ "$DoPath" = "1" ]
      then
         ls -la `pwd`/$f
      else
         echo $f
      fi

   done
done

Not sure that acroread needs any of those -compat32 files.

Over the years I've removed (and added) packages to my -current install following the information in the changelog, and also removed corresponding compat32 packages (and added new ones if/when they appear in Eric's repo) unless I know (or suspect) that 3rd party packages need them.

openssl10-solibs was removed from -current Jan. 25 2021.
libcroco was removed Aug. 15 2020
qt-4.8.7 was removed Dec. 7 2020

So there's no openssl10, libcroco or qt-4.8.7 (or their compat32 cousins) on my machine, but acroread runs fine all the same.

However, opencl-headers-2021.04.29 is part of Slackware-15 (and -current), as is expat-2.4.4 (on -15, -current has the later version 2.4.7).

As an experiment I temporarily removed those two compat32 packages and acroread still runs as it should.
