Ubuntu – When executing acroreader it fails with “error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file”

adobe-reader

I have downloaded adobe reader 9.5.5 and installed it using gdebi.Now if I click on any pdf it is not starting.I tried "acroread" in terminal and it is showing me this error

/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread: error while loading shared libraries: libxml2.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Then I have installed libxml2.But still it is showing the same above error. My system OS is ubuntu 13.10.

Is there any solution to my problem for using Adobe reader or any other alternative pdf reader other than foxit and default(evince) or okular by using which I can highlight any text in my pdf?

I resolved this issue on my 64 bits Ubuntu (13.10) using the following terminal command:

sudo apt-get install libxml2:i386 libstdc++6:i386
