I cannot view PDFs using Firefox in Etch (Testing). I get:

I have these packages installed:
acroread 7.0.5-0.0
mozilla-acroread 7.0.5-0.0
As root do a "yum -y remove acroread mozilla-acroread" and then
follow the instructions in the Adobe Reader section at

And I forgot to note in the previous message that for some reason,
selinux is disabling acroread unless set for permissive. This
needs addressed also. I don't want to have to depend on a tail of
the log to tell me when things are going in the toilet.
To add more details, I have now read the manpage for selinux,
touched /.autorelabel and rebooted after setting selinux back to
enforcing. It did re-run the autolabeling function on the reboot.
No change, an attempt to run acroread from the icon fails, and from
the cli, this message is output:
[root@diablo ~]# acroread
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error
while loading shared
libraries:
/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/lib/libJP2K.so: cannot
restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied
I've investigated the system-config-securitylevel thing, which FWIW
thought it was in the enforcing mode when /etc/selinux/config said
otherwise, so thats obviously broken right there, and went thru the
menu's looking for something to check or uncheck but didn't find any
'suspects' that might control the above.
This subject has been noted, at some length now in this and similar
threads, with no one offering a helpfull comment so far. Is this
something that only the NSA can answer? Or is there an FM I haven't
read because I don't know of its existance so I can do the RT
portion?

Thank you very much Lauri, that worked like a champ. But why does it
seem to be such a huge secret other than its ulitmately being usefull
to the blackhats?
I assume that this command line (the top line above) can be used against
any other known good (we think) but similarly malfunctioning (the
bottom line above) program?

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
