No error message at command line.

Selinux is disabled.

acroread execute is in /usr/bin and it is linked to 
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread and if i execute acroread in /opt dir it 
execute and gives the Red AdobeReader splash screen, then goes away.  So 
there is no linking problem to execute of acroread.


$ strace acroread &> acroreadTEST.txt       (here is the last few lines 
in Strace and there is a Error message, but I don't understand what means.
