Thanks for the replies. In the mean time we figured that there is a patch
available from RS Inc. on: ftp://ftp.rsinc.com/outgoing/
Bye, Martin

It's rather annoying to hear about this problem, since I have
just started upgrading all of our 3.2c Alphas to 4.0d because
we're still running IDL4, and we'd been told by RSI that IDL5
requires version 4 of Digital UNIX!
There does seem to be an odd incompatibility between 4.0d and
4.0[bc] that I discovered just yesterday, something having to
do with shared libraries: Some old executables (perhaps ones
built way back when we were running under OSF/1 v2) refuse to
start up, with a message from /sbin/loader (though different
from the message you're getting). Rebuilding the executable
under 4.0d fixed things. Maybe even though IDL5 is a recent
release, RSI is still shipping an older version of idl_lmgrd
that ran OK under 3.2 and 4.0[bc], but fails under 4.0d.
Clearly something changed between 4.0[bc] and 4.0d, because
the old executables that fail under 4.0d ran just fine under
both 3.2c and 4.0c. (Our older Alphas have all been at 3.2c
for long time, but our recently-acquired au-series personal
workstations run 4.0c, so it's easy to confirm that this new
problem didn't occur until 4.0d.)

We had the same problem here after applying patch kit 6 to DU4.0b.
It is a problem with /usr/shlib/libc.so.
We resolved it by restoring the old libc to a ...idl/bin/bin.alpha,
which is part of the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH set in the idl-scripts.

Hmmm, well we have idl 5 (or 5.0.3) running happily under dec unix 4.0d, but
I confess that the license manager is running on a different machine under 4.0b.
