mupdf where are you

[enoch]

After installing mupdf could not find it, how do you open a pdf with it?

[vinnie]

looking in the file list of appbrowser I found only this: usr/local/bin/mupdf
I think that there is no symlink in /usr/local/bin.
Do you start with /usr/local/bin/mupdf file.pdf or you create the symlink.

[enoch]

I think no to both questions

[vinnie]

I'm sorry, I was with 3 hours of sleep and the consequences are tragic as you can see.
The only thing is that I seem to have tried mupdf some time ago, but even now does't work for me

mupdf is completely broken. I suggest removing it.

Hmmm, I for one can't quite confirm this this rather broad statement. I can imagine that some (e.g. more complex) PDF files won't render properly, but a (fairly) limited test I just did showed that at least some documents worked without any trouble (whilst for another one I got '... Wrong JPEG library version: library is 80, caller expects 62' warnings).

Given the fact that it looks to me to be the "smallest" PDF viewer in the repository (when taking into account also dependencies) I can't see the harm for keeping this version around.

I agree having a smallest PDF viewer is great, but broken extensions shouldn't belong in our repository in my view.
Perhaps someone can upgrade the extension some day?

This problem has been fixed in the latest version (0.8.165), but otherwise the app works well.

I've pm'd the contributor and left an update request here:

In the meantime, you can grab the pre-compiled binaries here:
