Problem with Foxit Reader: it installs but not start

Hi!

I tryed to use Foxit, but it doesn't start.

I have installed it through TazPkg, it seems to be installed correctly, the icon of Foxit Reader appears on Start Menu > Office, but when I click on it, nothing happens.

I tested it on Slitaz 5.0 RC2 LiveCD, Brazilian Portuguese.

This is what I've done to install it:

# tazpkg recharge

# tazpkg -gi get-foxit-reader-1.00

# /usr/bin/get-foxit-reader

Have I done something wrong?

Thanks in advance for any tip.

Re: Problem with Foxit Reader: it installs but not start

Thanks mojo for your quick answer.

The internet connection link is up and working well.

I've already read the Packages page on Handbook and I made the proceedings described there. The output is exactly the same you have posted above. (Installation completed succesfully)

I tryed to open Foxit using: Applications/Office/FoxitReader

...Nothing happened.

I wrote on a terminal and the anwser was:

tux@slitaz:~$ FoxitReader

FoxitReader: error while loading shared libraries: libcups.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

What does that message mean? Is some pack missing?

Re: Problem with Foxit Reader: it installs but not start

FoxitReader-1.1-0 depends on cups.

I will add cups to depends in receipt section of get-foxit-reader script.

For users that don't want cups on their system FoxitReader-1.0-1 only depends on gtk+.

Download: http://www.mediafire.com/download/pdu3q6bk1v24aet/FoxitReader-1.0-1.tazpkg

Install: [c]tazpkg install FoxitReader-1.0-1.tazpkg[/c]

Re: Problem with Foxit Reader: it installs but not start

I tested FoxitReader-1.0-1 and FoxitReader-1.1-0 packages, and both of them work well.

Many many thanks, mojo, for your time and patience to fix this issue.

This topic is resolved.

I suggest that FoxitReader-1.0-1 pack would be accessible through TazPkg; by doing this, any user that doesn't want cups could directly install FoxitReader-1.0-1 from Slitaz mirror. But this is just a suggestion

Have a nice day!
