Did the following based on some forum threads:
nm -pxAN /usr/lib/dld.sl

odump -slexport /usr/lib/dld.sl

chatr /usr/lib/dld.sl

Still not able to fix the problem.
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Shalom,

After installing acroread, open the program in X and acknowledge the license agreement.

Make sure the needed libraries are on the SHLIB_PATH variable at execution time.

acroread is still throwing the error even with setting the correct SHLIB_PATH.


Alternative workaround is to use
pdf2ps by unsetting SHLIB_PATH

unset SHLIB_PATH
pdfsps source.pdf output.ps
This works now.

Using the last workaround I mentioned, I was able to print pdf documents using command line

unset SHLIB_PATH;pdf2ps source.pdf - |lp -d

Where is your libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.sl?
I think I used the one from firefox.

>chatr /usr/lib/dld.sl

It is a waste of time looking at dld.sl. This is just the messenger. The problem is with your executable or shlib.

>unset SHLIB_PATH;pdf2ps source.pdf - |lp -d

If you need to unset SHLIB_PATH, then you shouldn't set SHLIB_PATH with the bogus path, you should only set it in wrapper script that invokes your particular command.
