What you gotta do is to install libs for i386:Īptitude install libgtk2.0-0:i386 libstdc++6:i386įor Debian amd64 users, some obstacles may be encountered. The root reason for the missing-shared-object message is that the FoxitReader was built for i386 Linux thus it needs i386 version of libgtk-x11. Let's check if we really miss this library:Īnd my Ubuntu did have this library: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 However, followed by launching FoxitReader is an error message:Įrror while loading shared libraries: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory To resolve this issue for Debian, a force option is a must:ĭpkg -force-architecture -i FoxitReader_1.1.0_b Debian users may find it not that direct to install i386 deb, the complaint message is architecture conflicting. Though the rpm and deb files are for i386 only, they can still be installed on amd64(x86_64). I wouldn't say Adobe Reader for Linux is worse, but most of the time I just want to read my pdf document without any special functions, therefore, I would definitely choose Foxit Reader on my Linux.įoxit Reader for Linux provides three types of binries: bz2, rpm and deb.

It has superior performance and much lighter than Adobe Reader. Foxit Reader is my favorite pdf reader when I was a Windows XP user.
