Hi, I am a newbie here! I have just started using idl for image processing. I encountered following fatal problems: # I can't read any image. I first tried to read it using READ_IMAGE. Following is the output. IDL> image = read_image('orion.jpg') % Compiled module: READ_IMAGE. % Compiled module: QUERY_IMAGE. % Loaded DLM: JPEG. Segmentation fault Here idl quits and I am back to my command prompt. I tried with READ_JPEG,'orion.jpg',image. But it just hangs after saying 'Loaded DLM: JPEG'. It's problem with .png image too. # I just discovered that XPLOT3D procedure also doesn't work. It also hangs. I have RH-9 on my laptop. And I am using IDL 5.5. It seems to me that my linux is missing some libs or something like that. Has anybody faced this problem before? Any help is appreciated. Gauri. (PS: I already posted this message on comp.lang.idl 2 days back, but I still don't see it there. So sorry for repitition, but need to do it.)
