OK, I also am having trouble getting IDL to work with redhat 6.0. I tried the
above approach after copying libc-2.0.7.so from /usr/i386-glibc20-linux/lib/
(where the compat files are put) to /lib, but even with the 2.0.7 library I
get the same error message. Any ideas?

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

just a quick status "report" on this. I have just installed IDL on
RedHat 5.2 and since there are some problems with colortables and fvwm2
(see earlier article in thsi newsgroup -- btw: lesstif works) I had
asked RSInc about the patch mentioned earlier. They repied it's a pretty
old piece of code and not certain that it woiuld still apply.
FUrthermore I learned, that the RedHat version currently supported by
RSInc is 5.1 (not 5.2). I dropped a hint that 6.0 is available soon ...
may take a while before they get into it though.
