   I installed AlienBob's compatibility libraries. There must be something I
did incorrectly, however, as I'm also finding a build problem with another
SlackBuild package (another thread).

   Acroread would not install until I added the compat32 libs; it has font
issues so I may have missed something here.

Thanks,
