I tried everyone's suggestions, no luck.

Adding the gamin port prevents the error, but doesn't make the url
clicking work.

I tried an sh version of Sean's script, caused my system to lock up
completely.

I tried 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='' ; acroread8 file.pdf' and got a long
wristwatch icon, but never any actual result.
