After installing some development packages Adobe Acrobat 7.0 would not 
launch for us. Click Icon nothing happens.
Launching it from the command line resulted in

expr: syntax error


The following fix was pulled from the Adobe Forums @ 
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc26b0d

edit  /usr/Adobe/Acrobat7/bin/acroread

add an * after the ] in the second parenthesis group, so that the line 
418 looks like this

echo $mfile| sed 
's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'

this will ensure that all versions are picked up in a proper way
