"$" is part of your shell prompt. You are not suppose to include that in your commands.

[root@localhost pdf acrobat]# #./INSTALL [root@localhost pdf acrobat]#

Also, don't use system as "root" user, except when absolutely required.

Hope you have got your answer.

thanks.

Please read the list guidelines. It's not nice to "top-post", particularly when you are asking for help.

Looking forward to your compliance of list guidelines in future.
