Chris,
I posted the following message on 22 Jun 1999. The method outlined below
has worked for several in-house IDL5.2 installations on Redhat 6.0. Of
course, your mileage may vary.
Cheers,
Liam.

If you want to stick with Redhat 6.0, you'll need to upgrade to IDL 5.2,
which you can download from ftp://ftp.rsinc.com/pub/idl/unix/
To get IDL 5.2 to work under Redhat 6.0, a patch is required. The
instructions below were posted by Olivier Archer
(mailto:oarcher@ifremer.fr), and have been used here successfully for
two different Linux systems.

Here's another way to get around the problem.
The goal is to define the setfpucw function
__setpucw.c:
void __setfpucw(void)
{
}
void __libc_init(void)
{
}
void _dl_symbol_value()
{
}
Compile it:
#gcc -fPIC -c __setfpucw.c
#ld -shared -o __setfpucw.so -assert pure-text __setfpucw.o
define the LD_PRELOAD environnement variable before launching
idl:
#export LD_PRELOAD=/?/?/__setfpucw.so
