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.
In general: there's no general fix. It all depends why LD_LIBRARY_PATH is used and what is done. There are multiple ways, some are workarounds ("env LD_LIBRARY_PATH='' lpr ..." ), some (like the one for acroread in the mail) are good fixes.
