Problems with Acroread7 port

I had no problems with the make install clean with this
port,
but when I try to start acroread7, I got the following
message:

# acroread7
/compat/linux/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/b
in/acroread:
error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6:
cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

I've searched for the libfreetype.so.6 shared object on my
machine and
I got the following:

# find /usr -name "libfreetype.so.*"
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.9

Maybe I have a newer version of libfreetype.so.*.
I tried with a symbolic link:

# ln -s /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.9
/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6

And then again:
# acroread7
/compat/linux/usr/local/Adobe/Acrobat7.0/Reader/intellinux/b
in/acroread:
error while loading shared libraries: libfreetype.so.6:
cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory

So, this method doesn't work.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Best Regards,
Vladimir Tsvetkov

p.s. This message was also sended to the port maintainer

You need the Linux version (as acroread is a Linux X
executable).  
On my -STABLE system, it was installed as part of
linux_base-8, 
as a dependency.

I believe I have exactly the linux version:
/usr/ports/print/acroread7
And it was installed as part of the linuxpluginwrapper port
as a dependency.

I meant that you need the X version of libfreetype.

If your linux_base-8 installation is out of date you may not
have the
necessary dependencies.  Try to portupgrade -a.
