You can easily install an old glibc (RH 5.2 has 2.0.7), and set up your
LD_PRELOAD environment variable just before running idl (perhaps in a
shell which runs only idl and is used for no other purpose). This way
you can continue using RH 6.0 using glibc-2.1, but IDL will work (and
find this library function it needs to work). Such a script might look
like:

#!/bin/sh
export LD_PRELOAD=/lib/libc-2.0.7
$IDL_DIR/bin/idl

Good Luck,

JD
