I used yum to erase and install acroread:

between the erase and install, I verified that /usr/bin/acroread had 
been removed, but it is present again after the install.

from the ddd viewing of gdb output:

Starting program: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread

shared libraries: libBIB.so: cannot open shared object file: No such 
file or directory
[Inferior 1 (process 31409) exited with code 0177]

end ddd output

The ddd failure probably is due to the fact that the sh "variables" were 
not setup by the Adobe acroread script, but ddd does not seem to have 
the ability to configure from a script and then execute.
