Hi!

I ran into a problem with programs exec:ed by print/acroread8 picking
up Linux libraries and thus failed to run.  This includes the print
program in the print dialogue and the browser configured in
edit/preferences/internet.

The reason is that the acroread launch script sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH
which is propagated to its childs.  See this PR:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/129553

Question 1: anybody else that sees this problem?

Question 2: what is the "proper" way to fix this problem?
(specifically for acroread8, but also in general.)

Bengt

Ps. Sorry for cross-posting - don't know which list to use for this
issue.
