I think this means that the linux version of acroread is trying to load
a freebsd shared library.  Even though there both ELF formats and both
i386 architecture, linux programs can't use freebsd libraries because
they have a different ABI, the way functions in C call each other and
deal with variables.  That's why you need linux_base for linux apps, and
native browsers need linuxpluginwrapper to use linux plugins.  My guess
is something is wrong with linuxpluginwrapper, try rebuilding and
reinstalling it.

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
Powerful Unix is.
