I fully understand that there are "open source" PDF readers.  I use a 
number of these, as well as Qoppa PDF Studio Pro (under license for fee) 
as a Linux replacement for Adobe Acrobat.  (PDF Studio Pro provides 
essentially all of the features I need that are provided by Adobe 
Acrobat -- and Adobe refuses to port Acrobat to linux.)

Nonetheless, I attempt to keep a functioning copy of Adobe Reader 
(acroread) on my workstation.  This was not an issue under EL 6. 
However, the most recent (last) Adobe Acroread rpm does not run.  I followed

http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/install-adobe-acrobat-pdf-reader-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/

3b. Install Adobe Reader (acroread) on CentOS/Red Hat (RHEL) 7
Note: On x86_64 bit system, 32-bit dependencies is also installed.

end quote.

With the IA-32 dependencies supposedly installed (yum install of the 
Adobe acroread RPM was successful), the application fails.

Does anyone have SL7 acroread working?  If so, how?

I really do not want to invoke Virtualbox to run MS Win 7 pro to run the 
MS Win version of acroread.
