So I've installed ArcReader931 and obviously while trying to launch it I got several errors. Those I've corrected were because of&nbsp; minor differences&nbsp; between distros. Sadly eventually I've stumbled on something like&nbsp; </SPAN><BR /><PRE __default_attr="plain" __jive_macro_name="code" class="jive_macro_code jive_text_macro">./arcreader: line 18: 26719 Aborted&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; /home/user_name/arcgis/bin/arcreader.exe $@</PRE><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I have to say it's rather awkward seeing a linux app demanding an exe file but anyway trying to run </SPAN><BR /><SPAN> /home/user_name/arcgis/bin/arcreader.exe separately I've ended with this error </SPAN><PRE __default_attr="plain" __jive_macro_name="code" class="jive_macro_code jive_text_macro">/home/user_name/arcgis/bin/arcreader.exe: error while loading shared libraries: libsde.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory</PRE><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Now I'm guessing it all comes down to a missing library, libsde.so. Searching for a possible fix I've seen a Fedora user had the same issue as I have </SPAN><A href="http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=113&amp;f=1141&amp;t=267520">http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=113&amp;f=1141&amp;t=267520</A><SPAN> but frankly I didn't understood if he eventually fixed it or not. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I thank you with anticipation for any hint or possible solutions.
