To be more correct: the kernel will user /compat/linux (hardcoded) as  
a prefix... but it doesn't matter here.

You either need to chroot to /compat/linux by hand when running the  
linux ldconfig, or use the switch in ldconfig to let ldconfig do it.

An additional variable to check is LD_PRELOAD. Both should not be set.

Make sure you either have linux in the kernel or loaded as a module  
(yes, you may be sure this is the case, but please check again).  
pkg_delete/pkg_deinstall every linux port. Make sure you don't have  
any linux related knobs enabled in make.conf. Remove the /compat/linux  
subtree completely (rm -rf). This is to make sure you don't have any  
old files there. Now install acroread and try to run it.

Bye,
Alexander.
