but /usr/local/lib/libc.so.6 is the freebsd library, which it -is- branded;

# /usr/local/lib
# brandelf libc.so.6
File 'libc.so.6' is of brand 'FreeBSD' (9)

Acroread probably needs   /usr/compat/linux/lib/libc.so.6
if it is running as linux  - acroread itself is a shell script. My
thought is now to locate the binary that is executed and see
what it is brandelf'd as, but when I study the acroread script
I cannot appear to find a binary referenced.
