After installing Adobe Reader 9, I receive the following error message when trying to run Adobe Reader.

/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread
error while loading shared libraries: libgdk_pixbuf_xlib-2.0.so.0
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Note that I had to run it from the console to see this error message. Running Adobe Reader from the desktop shortcut doesn't do anything; the application simply doesn't open.

To fix this, you need to install the 32-bit libraries in order for Adobe Reader to function correctly on a 64-bit system:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

Or alternatively, if that doesn't work, try:

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch
