Hi,
  I'm running FreeBSD 2.1.6-RELEASE and attempted to run "acroread"
using the linux compatiblity tarball:
linux_lib-2.3

and acroread:
DISTNAME=       acroread_linux_b1106
PKGNAME=        acroread-3.0

Everything make's and installs properly. However, when I run acroread,
I get the following error:

% acroread
/usr/local/Acrobat3/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: 1: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

What's wrong?
 Thanks,
david
