Something else to try (from Adobe's site):

comment out the line:
check_gtk_ver_and_set_lib_path "$MIN_GTK_VERSION"

to
#check_gtk_ver_and_set_lib_path "$MIN_GTK_VERSION"

This way you don't even worry about the Gtk version.

For some other ideas go to the Adobe Users Forums:
http://www.adobe.com/support/forums/

login as a guest, make your way to Acrobat Unix forum (I got there by 
going to Adobe Reader forum first).
There are more complicated fixes suggested there.
