Hello Boris,

I followed your leads and I am now left with the following :

>> Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "gnomebreakpad": libgnomebreakpad.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
        >>
        >> (acroread:41717): Pango-WARNING **: No builtin or

        >>

        >> aborting...
        >>
        >> [1]+  Exit 1                  acroread

'locate libgnomebreakpad' gives :
/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.la
/usr/local/lib/gtk-2.0/modules/libgnomebreakpad.so

So, these would be the FreeBSD versions of the library and not the linux ones, which would be the ones acroread would be looking for. However this does not seem to a fatal error. linux-ymessenger also reports the same error but loads and runs successfully.

Effectively, I am left with the pango error, which is fatal indeed and I have no idea how to get around. I would give up on acroread and try something else but for 2 reasons :

1) acroread is more sophisticated than anything else available
2) this has partly become an ego issue at my end.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

mess, I would be really grateful.
