Need help for acroread8

[Manish Jain]

Hello Boris,

I followed your leads and I am now left with the following :

	>> Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": 
libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or 
directory
	>>
	>> (acroread:41717): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or

	>> aborting...
	>>
	>> [1]+  Exit 1                  acroread

'locate libgnomebreakpad' gives :
/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.la
/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so

So, these would be the FreeBSD versions of the library and not the 
linux ones, which would be the ones acroread would be looking for.
However this does not seem to a fatal error. linux-ymessenger also 
reports the same error but loads and runs successfully.

Effectively, I am left with the pango error, which is fatal indeed 
and I have no idea how to get around. I would give up on acroread 
and try something else but for 2 reasons :

1) acroread is more sophisticated than anything else available
2) this has partly become an ego issue at my end.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
