Whoops!  It seems I spoke too soon.  Now the Acrobat plugin works
perfectly if I run netscape as root, but not as another user.  I get the
same message I got before: 

ERROR: libc.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Cant load plugin /usr/lib/netscape/plugins/nppdf.so. Ignored.
No plugin nppdf.so. Reverting to save-to-disk for type application/pdf.

Any idea why that would be?
