YES!! IDL 5.2.1 does use the new n32 ABI and this solved the problem.
Thanks for the help

Yes, IDL 5.2 uses the O32 ABI. IRIX does not allow mixing of O32 and N32
ABIs, so all your external code *must* be compiled/linked with -o32.
(This has been causing us problems since the latest compilers will not
generate o32 code.)
You could try installing IDL 5.2.1, I received a message yesterday that
says
this version uses the N32 ABI. I have only just downloaded the package
and
haven't yet had time to install it so I can't comment on whether it
works.
You can download it from the RSI ftp server; follow the links from the
RSI
Web site.
