# HI list,
# whats wrong here?
#
# [auge@seth auge]$ acroread5
# The OS named FreeBSD version 4.6-STABLE is currently not installed.
# Try running on an installed platform and connecting to your display.
# Installed platform(s) include the following:
#   Intel/Linux
# [auge@seth auge]$ uname -sr
# FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE
# [auge@seth auge]$

Do you have the Linux Compatibility support enabled and loaded on your
system? You can check to see if it is loaded by running:

$ kldstat

If it's loaded, then you should see a line with "linux.ko". If you do
not see that line, run the following as root:

# kldload linux

To enable the Linux Compatibility support upon start-up, add the
following line to /etc/rc.conf:

linux_enable="YES"

With the Linux kernel module loaded, try to run acroread5 again.
