Problem solved... It's a "known problem" that IDL 5.4 and RH 7.0 (may be more than 7.0, I'm not sure) "don't play well together" as shipped. There is a technote on it
(3072) which points to a new verion of idl_lmgrd to download.

You need to provide more info.
The idl_lmgrd in your /usr/local/rsi/idl_5.4/bin/ is a script that runs the actual binary
idl_lmgrd in /usr/local/rsi/idl_5.4/bin/bin.linux.x86. Is the latter one there? Are the
permissions set appropriately?
good luck.
