   Hi Henrik,   
      
   your 14.2 acroread is even older than the one in the slackbuild   
   (Reader9 there!), but in the same way, the slackbuild makes   
   /usr/bin/acroread a link to (in this case)   
   ../../opt/Adobe/Reader9/bin/acroread   
   and that is a shell script.  (Which does make it simple to shoe-horn a   
   "strace", "ldd" and other things into things, should one wish.)   
      
   Cheers.   
                                   Jim
