Comment 61 for bug 943195

xpdf 3.03 in 12.10 crashed at startup with every single PDF file I tried it with. I downloaded the source for 3.03 from http://www.foolabs.com/xpdf/download.html, and when built and installed that ran without problem:

sudo apt-get install libfreetype6-dev lesstif2-dev
wget ftp://ftp.foolabs.com/pub/xpdf/xpdf-3.03.tar.gz
tar xzpf xpdf-3.03.tar.gz
cd xpdf-3.03
export CXXFLAGS=-fpermissive
./configure --with-freetype2-library=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu \
    --with-freetype2-includes=/usr/include/freetype2 \
    --with-Xm-library=/usr/lib \
    --with-Xm-includes=/usr/include/Xm
make
sudo make install
