Hey Courtney,

   Check your DISPLAY variable.

keithh at zeus:~> echo $DISPLAY
:0.0
keithh at zeus:~>

   Format should be: hostname:xserver#.screen#

Typically, running on your local desktop, hostname is blank (but the colon is still important!), xserver# is zero, and screen# is zero (or omitted, drop the 'dot').

Try this:
   export DISPLAY=:0
and then run acroread
