The program started up perfectly rendering the first couple of pages, and then within a few seconds simply crashed out. A look at the console logs unfortunately showed the following message: linux: pid 78263 (acroread): syscall inotify_init not implemented In contrary to Acroread 8 (which does run properly) it looks like Acroread 9 actually uses the Linux inotify system. The port therefore is unfortunately of not much use as long as this subsystem of syscalls isn't mapped to its freebsd equivalent. I guess it couldn't hurt to mark the port as non-functionial until this has been resolved, and opted to put emulation@ on cc on this since i am curious what would need to be done in order to get this fixed. To my understanding Linux' inotify system shares similarities with FreeBSD's kqueue system and i wonder if a bridge of some sorts could be established here. With kind regards, Pascal Hofstee
