I've never had acroread version 4 croak on my 3.4-STABLE system.  It
works just perfectly fine.
   
   Well... (just installed):
   
   acroread-4.05 gives: 
   
   WKB ~acroread4 
   Floating point exception (core dumped)

  Wilko-
  
  I think you can get around this by installing the 
  /sys/i386/include/npx.h (version 1.18) from RELENG_4,5 
  and rebuilding your kernel (this also helps with linux
  netscape/realplayer and a few other linux goodies).
 
 Hmm, interesting. Unfortunately it is no so simple as it appears. 
 You also need globals.h which is not in 3.4-stable. Pulled that out of
 CVS. Now I see vm-machdep.c fail the compile..

Don't use the whole npx.h 1.18, only the latest patch which sets
__INITIAL_NPXCW__  to 0x127F.

This made it work for me...

I'll settle for acroread3x instead of acroread4x for now (until I move to
RELENG_4).
