I'm no expert on this but you could have a look at some of these sites to see if they give you the answer you're looking for.

Hello,

If you want to run Acrobat Reader from the Run option in X-window, you dont have to create any link. I think acroread is the executable. And most probably the link will be /usr/local/Acrobat4/bin/acroread. If you cannot find it there please try the command "which acroread".

yes it is located there but the problem is that when i use run and type acroread it doesn't start automatically.i have to use the full path..maybe i should try an alias..

How about putting the path to the directory where acroread executable is located in your PATH.

When it comes to linking, you can do:

Code:

cd /bin
ln -s /where/you/have/acroread

as the root.

I hope this helps.

thanks for that...but i don't think that it is what i surely want to do..

Create the link in a directory that is already in your path, maybe /usr/bin
