works fine for me
10.2.3, idl 5.6, Apple's X11 as does the code that you say crashes your solaris box

Don't have a Mac, but this sounds like the MacOS 10.2
OpenGL bug that is affecting many object graphics
programs. Karl Schultz reported it in this article:

XROI is, of course, an object graphics program.
Don't know what could be wrong with the Solaris box,
but I taught an IDL class last week on Solaris
boxes and I saw LOTS of weird things! This doesn't
surprise me at all. :-)
Cheers,
David

I second the motion. Same configuration as above. Works perfectly--
fast, responsive, etc.
I didn't even know about this little tool (XROI). Thanks for pointing
it out to me.
I don't know if it's relevant, but the first 4 lines of my .Xdefaults
file are:
idl.gr_visual: TrueColor
idl.gr_depth: 24
idl.retain: 2
idl.renderer: 1

Right. But I don't really know what is happening here. Failing to find the
iptool DLM is pretty unrelated to the X server. We also don't know whether
Richard is running the Apple beta X server, XDarwin, or something else.
The message "Unknown dynamically loadable module: iptool" means that IDL
didn't or can't read the IPTOOL.DLM file, which causes IDL to not know about
the DLM. I would first investigate installation and permission problems.
Richard might also try calling RSI Tech Support since they may have seen
this problem before.

I can't explain this either. I tried all these things on both OS X and Sun
and couldn't reproduce the problems. Both these failures seem pretty basic
and I would tend to look for installation issues.
