Reader's startup script will fail the GTK version check after you install GTK 2.10.
A way to have it working again is to replace
MIN_GTK_VERSION="240" with MIN_GTK_VERSION="2040"
and
echo $mfile| sed 's/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g' with echo $mfile| sed s/libgtk-x11-\([0-9]*\).0.so.0.\([0-9]*\)00.\([0-9]*\)\|\(.*\)/\1\2\3/g'
in the startup script {READER_ROOT}/bin/acroread.

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

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

Here is a patch that worked for me.

Save it anywhere as acroread.patch
then
$su
#cd [acrobat install directory]/bin
(mine is /usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/bin/)
#patch acroread <[path to where you saved acroread.patch]

I tried doing this a lot of times and now instead of syntax error, my acrobat reader doesn't even start. It exits as soon as it starts. No error, nothing. Please kindly help me out. It was working fine with FC-5. I just installed FC-6 today morning and now this problem.

Thank you in advance.

A workaround to run acroread on Fedora Core 6 is to edit the file <ReaderRoot>/bin/acroread and replace the following line (line-no 644):
check_gtk_ver_and_set_lib_path "$MIN_GTK_VERSION"

with

# check_gtk_ver_and_set_lib_path "$MIN_GTK_VERSION"

-vc

See my post from 12/20/2006 With the subject header:
     Re: Reader won't start, Fedora Core 6 newbie
I spent quite a bit of time researching this and posted a solution what 
works with all versions of GTK.
