 This has been bugging me (execuse the pun) and to work around it I hacked the
 libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 binary to remove the eXecute bit from the STACK header
 entry:
 
 $ readelf -l /usr/pkg/emul//linux/opt/gnome/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0  | grep STACK
   STACK          0x000000 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00000 0x00000 RW  0x4
 $
 
 I then ran the commands in INSTALL and now I can use acroread7.
 
 Why this works for some people and not others beats me. What platforms and
 versions are people using? What's the output of the above command?
