Error "dlerror: Function not implemented (_localFindResource)" or blank dialog boxes when you start Adobe Reader 7.0.8 on AIX
Issue
When you start Adobe Reader 7.0.8 on AIX, you receive the following error message, "dlerror: Function not implemented (_localFindResource). Invalid Resource handle."
Additionally, some dialog boxes in Adobe Reader are blank.
Detail
You are using AIX 5.3 (OS Level 3 or above).
Solution: Set the LDR_CNTRL environmental variable.
Set the LDR_CNTRL environmental variable with the following command:
export LDR_CNTRL=NOKRTL
This command can be added into your environment or as part of a shell script that invokes the Adobe Reader.
Additional information
The latest patch releases of AIX 5.3 cause the acroread executable to fail to load plug-ins and dialog box definitions properly. Setting the above environmental variable bypasses this issue.
To determine the OS level of your AIX system, use the command: oslevel -r
A complete fix for the issue will be available from IBM as part of APAR IY84430. It should be available to users by the end of August 2006.
