Acrobat Reader 5.07 for Linux

There is an rpm for Acrobat Reader 5.07 for Linux from Gurulabs. It anyway didn't work on my machine, so I had to stick to the old reader (version 4.05 that is). But today I found a fix on the web:

OK, this is the error message:

$ /usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread
$ Warning: charset "UTF-8" not supported, using "ISO8859-1".
$ Aborted

But editing the acroread file (/usr/local/Acrobat5/bin/acroread) really works. After the line:

install_dir=/usr/local/Acrobat5/Reader

just insert these two lines:

LANG=C
export LANG

BTW you need to have root accession rights to be able to modify the acroread file.
