I am trying out the suggestion given Ian (#36) with the modification for a 32 bit machine
as suggested by #38. My machine runs on Ubuntu 12.10.
But I get confused at the "patching" step. The "wget ..." seemingly leads to a patch file
(the xpdf3.03Viewer.patch file). This is what I get upon running "patch < xpdfViewer.patch"
on the terminal :

raymond@raymond-HP-625:~/Downloads/xpdf-3.03$ patch < xpdf3.03Viewer.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

File to patch:

If I then enter
./configure --with-freetyep2-library=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
./configure --with-freetyep2-library=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu

I get this (" No such file or directory
Skip this patch? [y] "), like
./configure --with-freetyep2-library=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
./configure --with-freetyep2-library=/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu: No such file or directory
Skip this patch? [y]

Could you help with some clarification please. I alread have the xpdf source downloaded.
