acroread broken? (potato)

[Alan Eugene Davis <adavis@netpci.com>]

Having just received a very amazing CD, enjoying it on a Mac and a
Windoze machine, I thought acroread would probably work with it.  I
get messages about compressed pdf from other pdf readers.  There is
some problem with graphics rendering on the potato system, and when I
try to follow links, I get either a segmentation fault or some other
error.  

When I run ldd the following happens:

$ ldd /usr/lib/Acrobat4/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread
        libreadcore.so => not found
        libAGM.so => not found
        libCoolType.so => not found
        libICC.so => not found
        libXt.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXt.so.6 (0x4000c000)
        libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libXext.so.6 (0x4004f000)
        libX11.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libX11.so.6 (0x4005a000)
        libm.so.5 => /lib/libm.so.5 (0x400fa000)
        libdl.so.1 => /lib/libdl.so.1 (0x40103000)
        libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x40106000)
        libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libSM.so.6 (0x401c4000)
        libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libc5-compat/libICE.so.6 (0x401cd000)
$ 

Apparently those libaries that are not found ARE in the distribution,
in  acroread's directories.

Can I reasonably get this thing to work right, or am I stuck until
Adobe chooses to release a binary compatible with my libaries?  Or
what?
