It's a matter of linkage of the plugin. You have to use our RPM version
we provided in
Applic CD (and it was on Cooker/contrib some time ago, I don't remember
if still
there), where we patched nppdf.so. If you install Acrobat from standard
tgz instead
you get from Adobe site it won't never work under glibc netscape (only
way in that
case is to use netscape libc5 or move libc 5.3.12 into /usr/lib/netscape
and change LD_LIBRARY_PATH into /usr/bin/netscape adding
/usr/lib/netscape in the path list.

Because your own netscape was probably a libc5 netscape.
