One can only install > it, not build it. You are correct. I forgot. Since on Gentoo all I did was bash # emerge acroread And Gentoo downloaded and installed it, I had forgotten. Most Gentoo is source, and with the exception on a single item I have not knowingly installed a precompiled package. That is two now that you have brought acroread to my remembrance. What I erringly remembered as the build failing was acroread failing to run do to some library issues. Jimmie Houchin
