Hello Boris,
I can't really explain how, but I have got acroread8 up and running
on my system. All I did was deinstall and reinstall pango and
linux-pango. I then created the following 2 symlinks :
/compat/linux/etc/pango/pango.modules ->
/compat/linux/etc/pango/i686-redhat-linux-gnu/pango.modules
/compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules ->
/compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules-32
Then I ran /compat/linux/usr/bin/pango-querymodules as root, which
populated pango.modules. Once that happened, to my surprise,
acroread fired up and ran seamlessly. It still gives the warning
about the missing libgnomebreakpad.so, like all other linux
inherited applications do, but that appears to be harmless.
Thanks for all the help.
Regards
Manish Jain

Hello Boris,
I followed your leads and I am now left with the following :
Please, show what exactly you have done. And give output of
two commands from those URLs. And try to not top-post. Otherwise
you yourself won't understand the email.

'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
