I installed Acrobat reader on Debian 11/Bullseye following instructions from here
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libxml2:i386
Download the Adobe Acrobat Reader (acroread) package here: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/unix/9.x/9.5.5/enu/AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
Install it as follows:
cd ~/Downloads
sudo dpkg -i AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i386linux_enu.deb
sudo apt-get -f install
acroread
When I run acroread from the terminal, I get the following error:
opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I followed instructions in this ubuntu forum and added i386 architecture (which is already done above):
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
I understood that I need to install ia32-libs, which in debian is done as per this
dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt-get update
apt-get install libc6:i386
Also followed advice to install libc6-i386 in the same thread.
But still get the error:
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Please advice how to solve and any pointers will be greatly appreciated
