Trying to open PDFs from the web, desktop, email don't work. I see Document Viewer start to load in the toolbar, but then it closes. I've uninstalled and re-installed with the same result. when I run evince from a terminal I get

evince: error while loading shared libraries: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

any suggestions?

Completely remove evince then:

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get autoremove
then reinstall.
