Hi,
If you used the standard installation for reader, the path should have been /usr/lib32/Adobe/Reader8/bin and not /usr/lib32/Acrobat/Reader8/bin. Could you confirm how you performed the installation?
The solution is to uninstall and re-install the reader using the standard location. We highly recommend that you install under /opt if it's a system-wide installation. Installing under /usr/lib32 seems strange given that the reader consists of more than just libraries.
If that's not possible, you can fix it by tweaking the INSTALL script that is part of the language pack installer. Change line 198:
from:
198 if [ ! -d "$dir/Adobe/Reader8/Reader" -o ! -d "$dir/Adobe/Reader8/Resource" ]
to:
198 if [ ! -d "$dir/Acrobat/Reader8/Reader" -o ! -d "$dir/Acrobat/Reader8/Resource" ]
and specify /usr/lib32 as the path of installation when prompted.
Let us know how you progress.

  • Oracle9iDS Forms Builder install problem

    Help! I am a student trying to install Oracle 9iDS Forms Developer for a class that I am taking. I am using installation disks provided by the school & get through the installation just fine per their instructions.
    ...but, when I run the Forms Builder, I see the splash screen, then the application immediately closes. No error messages.
    I have tried starting the OC4J instance first (which starts up fine) but I still get the same results for Forms Builder.
    I can open the Forms Compiler and Jdeveloper, no problems. I can connect to the school's database using PL/SQL.
    I am running Windows XP Home Editions, Service Pack 2.
    I'm a student of Oracle, but I have 24+ years of IT experience, and this one has me stumped. Thank you for your time and interest!

    Hi,
    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, it didn't work.
    I used regedit to remove all references to Oracle, completely uninstalled & reinstalled the software...and I get the same results: Forms Builder sends up its splash screen, then quits.
    Anyone have any other suggestions? Is there any other software known to be incompatible with Oracle? This is my home PC & there isn't too much interesting on it. I do have Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, plus Office & the usual batch of games for the kids.
    Thanks!

  • Flash Builder Language Problem

    Hi, i download the BETA and the installer run in a strange language, even the program have a different language, my OS is in spanish, can someone explain me how to put FB4 in english?
    thanks.

    Hi JK994
    Out of curiosity, what language did you select in the install language selection dialog?
    Here is how you can manually change the language:
    1. Exit FB and open the finder and go to the FB insatll directory
    2. Control + click on the Gumbo.app and select Show Package contents
    3. Navigate to Contents > MacOS
    4. Edit Gumbo.ini in TextEdit
    5. Change the nl to en_US (it is likely de_DE or something along those lines)
    -nl
    en_US
    6. Save the file and launch FB.
    If you still have a problem, add the following under the -vmargs line
    -Duser.language=en
    -Duser.country=US

  • GetRuntime().exec problem under Linux

    Here's a piece of code under Mandrake.

    Can somebody help me? Thanks in advance.

    There are several problems.
    First of all, the "command > somefile" syntax is interpreted by
    the shell on Linux. But exec does not load the shell by default.
    So the redirection does not work.
    Secondly, you should not execute the program as is,
    and then read its output using "getInputStream()" afterwards.
    There is buffer overflow and data starvation issues.
    See this excellent tutorial for how to create separate
    threads to channel data to and from a subprocess:

  • JFileChooser problem under Linux

    I am using a JFileChooser component to allow a user to select files for which status information is displayed in my gui.
    I am using a native method to get permissions etc on the choosen file and everything works well. If the user chooses a file which is actually a link or a fifo or a device node or a regular file, everthing works fine - the JFileChooser returns the File selected. I use the File.getPath() function and my native method gives me back permission information for display.
    My problem is when I enable multiple selections in the JFileChooser. For regular files, links, directories it works fine. But if the user try's to select a file which is actually a device node then the JFileChooser won't allow the user to select one.
    Is there any way I can overcome this problem?
    TIA
    Paul

    Hi,
    Windows is completely open and permissible regarding to user permissions. Linux is not. Check if the user you are trying to execute this java file has the permission to open a socket, for example. If he doesn't have it, then an exception would occur.

    This is with J2SE 1.4.1 on RedHat 7.3 running a vanilla 2.4.18 kernel. I'm running everything out of shell scripts to keep from getting bitten by typos.
    Here's the punchline: The identical code works just fine on RedHat 6.2 (kernel 2.2.14 or so) - same 1.4.1.
    Netstat tells me there is something listening on the appropriate ports, and output from strace suggests that there is some traffic back and forth to the server. There is no firewall running - I unloaded ipchains in the interest of paranoia. (There is firewalling running on the working system, go figure...)
    Help? I can post more details if that would help resolve the problem.

  • DR8-A (150D) Write speed problems under linux

    So-far I have been unable to select a speed for the unit other than the maximum speed of the media. Apparently, when the burning program asks for the current writer speed setting, the media speed  is returned.
    While I am impressed with the advertised versatility of the unit, i am disappointed in the number of "hangups" when unsuitable media is inserted. The only way to return the unit to service is to completely turn off the power, a re-start is insufficient. (Linux or Windows)
    Thanks
    Noel

    Post your computer's specification.
    And what kind of Linux are u using, i.e. what OS? Also try other burning software in Linux.
    Note: I know how to use Linux myself.

  • Oracle forms builder 11g on linux

    Do you have metalink access? If so read note 969422.1 as this sounds exactly like your problem.
    Basically it's a problem with the NLS_LANGUAGE you are using (basing on some cyrillic characters in your "edited by" text I am assuming you are using a russian nls_language).

  • Problems running Forms in Forms Builder 6.0.8.21.3

    I have upgraded some Forms from 4.5 to 6i. I compile and run the forms in Forms Builder 6.0.8.21.3. However I have a problem when running a specific form. When I run the form directly from Forms Builder the problem do not appear.
    But when I call the same form in Oracle Forms Runtime by calling the forms from the menu, the row with push buttons that I have defined do not appear.
    I have faced a similar problem earlier and then I solve the problem changing the order of the Data Blocks in the Object Navigator. I have tried this, but so far it does not work. Do the order of the Data Blocks affect how the Forms will be displayed? What about the order of the Canvases? I hope someone can help me with this challenge.
    I run win 2000 and do not get any runtime error messages.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Roar

    Roar,
    the order of blocks does only influence the navigation but not the visibility. However, if the button bar is on a canvas that doesn't show if the focus isn't in it then having teh button block on top makes sure the focus is set there. Are the push bottons on a separate canvas or are they on the same canvas as your data ? If not, then how do you ensure that the stacked canvas gets displayed ? Anyway, running the Form from teh builder uses teh same client/server runtime that is used when running your application stand alone. So it must be something within teh navigation (I am guessing).

    Hi Steven,
    I downloaded JHS 10.1.3.2 build 51 and under Linux I created a new application using the HR schema. This time, all prompts and tabs did have the correct labels like they have under Windows. Thanks so much for the fix!
    By the way, in the console from which I started JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 I do see a couple of these messages when I generate with JHeadstart.
    java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: -1
    at java.lang.String.charAt(String.java:558)

    at java.util.TimerThread.run(Timer.java:462)
    At first I thought these messages could be linked to the warnings I get when I first generate an application. But they also appear on successive generations. Some further investigation revealed that these messages only are thrown after or at the end of the first generation after JDeveloper has been started. When I then regenerate, the messages no longer appear until I restart JDeveloper. As far as I can see nothing is missing from the files generated by JHeadstart but I need to investigate further to be sure.
    Thanks, Wouter

  • Cannot start Cube Viewer under Linux

    The following bug was found for Windows platform.
    Do anyone have the patch for LINUX- SUSE. I have got the same problem under Linux but the patch is used for Window but it isn't any pacth for Linux there.
    The below description ist the same as for UNIX.
    fact: MS Windows NT
    fact: MS Windows 2000
    fact: MS Windows XP
    fact: Oracle OLAP Server 9.2.0.1.0
    fact: Oracle Enterprise Manger 9.2.0.1.0
    symptom: Olap Cube Viewer cannot be started
    symptom: An empty error window with a fire alarm symbol is displayed
    cause: Running Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 Enterprise Edition with the OLAP option on
    MS Windows.
    In Oracle Enterprise Manager Console:
    1. Startup the 9.2.0.1.0 Relational Database System.
    2. In Enterprise Manager: Select subtree Warehouse + OLAP + Cubes + SH
    3. Right-click on the COST_CUBE and select CUBE VIEWER from the popup menu.
    Minimize the Oracle Enterprise Manager Console window to see the window that
    is opened in the background. It says: "No materialized views have been
    created for this cube ... Do you want to continue viewing the cube?"
    => select button "Yes".
    Then the Oracle Enterprise Manager Cube Viewer starts loading. An error
    window with a fire alarm symbol and with an OK-button appears. There is no
    window title or error text displayed in the window.
    Selecting the OK-button will close the cube viewer window and the 9.2.0.1
    RDBMS instance is no longer running.
    fix:
    This problem is handled in <bug:2407685>
    Apply the following 9.2.0.1 Oracle OLAP patch like described in the patch
    readme file and reboot the machine (always create a backup before applying a
    patch):
    Patchnumber: 2323002
    OLAPI API FAILS ON WINDOWS 2000 & XP
    Product:Oracle OLAP Version:Oracle 9.2.0.1
    Platform:MS Windows NT/2000/XP Server
    To download the patch login to http:
    //metalink.oracle.com
    Select button "Patches", enter the Patch Number 2323002 and select
    the "SUBMIT" button.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Mehdi

    Patch/one-off 2323002 is not an issue with Linux. It addresses a bug on Windows 2000 & XP. Note that the Cube Viewer currently does not work with the SH Cubes. In short, there is an issue with support of denormalized snow flake schema. This will be fixed for Linux once the upcoming 9.2.0.2 patch set is released on MetaLink around Oct 4th.
    Cube Viewer does require that the OLAPI jar files located in $ORACLE_HOME\olap\olapi\lib be the exact same version as the Database Server. So you may have to update the OLAPI jar files on the machine that is running Cube Viewer. Download from the Database Server the correct express*.jar file and copy it to the OLAPI lib directory. Another thing, you may be running into the bug where CV hangs while writing to the log file. To fix this problem, please email me and ask for the Cube Viewer zip. I'll send you some files and intstructions.

  • Form builder make an error in windows xp sp2 when connecting oracle xe

    i have installed the forms from developer 6i and tried to connect to
    oracle xe using form builder , the problem was that windows show an error and
    it says that an error has occur and we are sorry , do you want to send the message

    Hi Samer,
    sorry, but I haven't done any character set migration yet. Usually I have used exp/imp to move the data to a new database instance that was created with the new target character set. But with XE you only have the choice between WE8MSWIN1252 and AL32UTF8, you cannot easily create a new instance with a different character set.
    This should suffice for most applications. But you have a special case where you run into a problem with a product where you won't get any enhancements for anymore. Forms6i entered extended support on 01/2005.
    Perhaps someone else can help you out with the character set migration.
    Good luck,
    ~Dietmar.

  • Can't run form from Form Builder 10g - Port configuration problem?

    Hi,
    I have installed the Database (10.2.0.1.0) and the Developer Suite (10.1.2.0.2) on two Linux machines (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES 4 Basic).
    If I enter the frmservlet-URL manually everything seems to be fine.
    In one case I enter http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet, in the other http://127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet; in BOTH cases I get eventually a dark square and the status bar says "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started".
    HOWEVER, if I create a simple form with Form Builder and click on the Button with the green traffic light ("Run Form"), the form runs only on the machine where frmservlet listens on port 8890.
    On the other machine (frmservlet configured to listen on port 8889) Firefox pops up, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:32979/6dOrpwghCqnp8PhMT7KVT533m3IaArqFbPqPBOztZXWYSsNy" gets called, and nothing else happens. The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and it stays like this forever.
    I assume this is a port configuration problem, but I don't have a clue where to start.
    Any suggestions how I should proceed are greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hi Frank,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I doublechecked my configuration.
    In the dialog Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime the Application Server URL is set to "127.0.0.1:8889/forms/frmservlet".
    However, when I attempt to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33140/W2dwbV9eXS2fPkuKlxNhCxFWdEihwDviat2uV7ycrSotqwDN" gets called.
    The screen displays the string "ORACLE FORMS." and the status bar says "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...", and that's it.
    I wonder how the port number 33140 got selected. Interestingly, this time it is a different number; last time it was port 32979. In fact, the port number seems to change each time; I tried again and now it is 33189.
    I will now try to set the port number for the frmservlet to 8890.
    I choose Edit --> Preferences --> Runtime and set the application server URL to "127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet".
    I stop the container, open /home/oracle/OraHome_1/j2ee/DevSuite/config/default-web-site.xml and change the port number to 8890:
    <?xml version="1.0" standalone='yes'?>
    <!DOCTYPE web-site PUBLIC "Oracle Application Server 10g XML Web-site" "http://xmlns.oracle.com/ias/dtds/web-site.dtd">

    I restart the container, start Form Builder, connect to the database, and open my test form.
    When attempting to run the form, the URL "http://127.0.0.1:33437/Pl0n3ky9vmU5z37A7ScBnQhsGwq3jwuzJpgTAKWPMOYIzT8K" gets called (again a new port number, apparently picked radomly within a certain range) and nothing happens: "Waiting for 127.0.0.1...".
    However, when I enter the URL http://127.0.0.1:8890/forms/frmservlet I do (eventually, after confirming that I trust the certificate etc.) get a darc rectangle and the status message "Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main started", which tells me that my setup can't be that far off target.
    Here is the output of netstat:

    The question remains: Where do those port numbers come from?
