but adobe doesn't seem interested in supporting yum any longer. The best you can do these days is go to the adobe.com site and follow the download links for acrobat and you can get a rpm from the adobe site.

With an rpm you can just say yum install AdbeRdrwhatever.rpm and it will automatically pick up all the 32 bit libs that are dependencies.

Maybe becuase they have to do security updates so frequently. Meanwhile for acrobat I got: AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin but step 3 of 3 is coming up blank. What do I do with this .bin file.

2) List the adobe files available for installation: # yum list | grep adobe AdobeReader_XXX.YYY (select your language. (English, XXX=enu, YYY=i486)) [...]

3) Yum install AdobeReader_XXX.YYY 4) Good luck finding the Adobe Reader menu icon, but command-line executable is: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread Hope this helps!

Any tips? Hi Robert, Not the solution you asked for but Google's Chrome now supports .pdf files natively.
