[SOLVED] Acroread doesn't start after installation from AUR

After install, I got this

$ acroread 
/usr/bin/acroread: line 22: /opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: No such file or directory

And the file "opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread" exists.

Initially, the package from AUR is not able to install. I edited the dependent list from

depends=(desktop-file-utils lib32-{gtk2,libxml2,libxt,mesa,pangox-compat,libidn})

to

depends=(desktop-file-utils gtk2 libxml2 libxt mesa pangox-compat libidn)

by using all dependent packages from the official repository.

Searched to found an old threads talking about this issue. However, that one is out dated, as the bin32-acroread mentioned there is already gone.

Just switched from Ubuntu, I am still not very experienced with Arch. Anyone know what is the issue? Thank you very much.

Problem solved. Need to enable the multilib option of pacman at /etc/pacman.conf
Make sure the uncomment [multilib] also.
