Quoting Alexander Leidinger <alexan...@leidinger.net> (from Sat, 13 Dec 2008 21:11:15 +0100):

Quoting Bengt Ahlgren <ben...@sics.se> (from Fri, 12 Dec 2008 13:37:25 +0100):

The reason is that the acroread launch script sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH
which is propagated to its childs.  See this PR:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/129553

Question 2: what is the "proper" way to fix this problem?
(specifically for acroread8, but also in general.)

Search the archive for the ports mailinglist, in the mail "print/acroread8: LD_LIBRARY_PATH breaks helper programs" is a fix for the problem.

ROTFL... this mail on ports@ is from you... :-)

I suggest to contact the port maintainer with the fix. If he doesn't answer, send a PR. As soon as someone (maintainer / other committer in the PR case) has time and motivation, the fix will get committed.

Bye,
Alexander (ENOTIME ATM, else I would have taken care about this already).
