Dear all,
I have just installed IDL 5.4 to a Linux Server (Red Hat 6.2 (Zoot),
Kernel 2.2.14-5, XFree86-VGA16). Installation went through without any
errors or warnings.
I have now tried to start idl (before licensening it). First I got two
error messages of two libraries missing (libXpm.so.4 and libc-so.5). I
just found this libs on my machine and copied it to the
/<IDL-DIR>/bin/bin-linux-x86 directory.
Now I get a segmentation fault, which is even the worst becaue it tells
you nothing.
Has anybody tried the same or a similar installation? Can anybody give
me a hint?
Please help me, we need to run IDL on these machines!!!
Best regards

As I neither run a license manager on Linux, or have IDL 5.4 to check
this may
be meaningless. But I've just checked on lmgrd for IDL 5.3 and this
appears
to be linked against libc6, ldd says :
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001d000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
Did IDL 5.4 lmgrd somehow go back a step?

I can't really help with 5.4 as I am still waiting for RSI (UK) to send
me my copy. But I have 5.3 working perfectly here and I can't imagine 5.4
is all that different.
I would be very surprised if 5.4 required libc5. Are you certain it said
that libc.so.5 was required? IDL 5.3 uses libc6.
This is the list of library dependencies I have for IDL 5.3:
libidl.so.5.3 => ./libidl.so.5.3 (0x40015000)
libMesaGLU.so.3 => ./libMesaGLU.so.3 (0x40662000)
libMesaGL.so.3 => ./libMesaGL.so.3 (0x40678000)
libXp.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXp.so.6 (0x4075d000)
libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x40765000)
libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40772000)
libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x4077f000)
libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x407c7000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x407d0000)
libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x407e6000)
libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x408a9000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x408c6000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x409bb000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
My libXpm comes from the xpm-3.4k-2 package.
Where did you get your libc.so.5 and libXpm.so.4 from?

Dear Peter,
I have checked it, as you told me. IDL 5.4 needs libc6, but libXpm.so.4 needs
both libc5 and lib6c, at least this is what "ldd libXpm.so.4" tells me. I'm
very new to Linux (however, I have worked with other Unix systems), so I'm not
sure about this library stuff.
Funny enough, after checking I now get a different error message. It's
"Floating point exception". Really mysteriously.

Ah, I only checked the license manager, lmgrd, not the IDL license
daemon. Indeed, idl_lmgrd is the same on my system in requiring libc5.
It appears to be the only thing which still does require libc5, but
that is a real nuisance for anyone requiring a license manager on
Linux.
