I use the SuSE(ftp.suse.com) version of Acroread-4.0.5 It has a working
plugin for the Linux 2.1.3 libraries. It works perfectly 
under Netscape-Linux and native. Convert with alien with alien -t
file.rpm then intall in /compat/linux.
Get plugger-3.0 too. I can stream any *media via Netscape with it
including .vob dvd files. I had Win users look at it and say how can I
make windows like that. Sorry guys. I used to think Windows was far
ahead in multimedia...no more. Of course it's all in the set up.

*you need
acroread
mpg123
xaudio
mtv
xanim
xmovie
netshow
realplayer7
mpeg2player
splay
timidity
gv

pluggerrc controls most of it.

*plugins
flashplayer4
plugger-3.0
ump
realplayer7
nppdf (acroread)

Many forget to edit ld.so.conf(/etc) and run
ldconfig -v (/sbin) in /compat/linux
May be the cause of unloaded libraries.
