Thanks for help!

Your last solution to solve the problem having opera, vmware and acroread.
Now, the situation is better... But, I have gotten some problem with other soft:
opera-acoread
opera-plugins (flash media)
openoffice2 - (I forget about this in previos letters). ooffice1 is old.

They require suse10.

I guess first solution difficult to have different LOCALBASE's...
