Please forgive if I seem a trifle dense, but how did you go about 
installing? If done using the ports system, as part of the process 
linux_compat and various linux-* ports should have installed as 
dependencies. Perhaps the install succeeded but left out linux_load="YES"
from /boot/loader.conf? 

Possibly it may be one of the few things that need linprocfs_load="YES" too, 
but I doubt this because there would be a different error.

I would expect it to be looking for the library referenced above somewhere 
below the /compat or /usr/compat (the first is a link) which is where the 
linuxolator resides. This library should be being provided by the linux-
gtk2-2.6.10_1 port. Since the acroread8 is a linux blob it should be using 
the linuxolator to run.
