With the changes taking place at Red Hat, we're considering converting all our
Red Hat machines to SuSE. Will IDL for Linux install and run with SuSE?
I've been poking around the RSI web site but haven't run across a platform
matrix.

I have installed IDL 6.1 on SUSE 9.0. It works fine except I had to
substitute the libcompat library for the idlhelp and the itool to work.

Hi Mike,
I am using exactly the configuration you are interested in without any
problems. You have to set the kernel version to 2.4 otherwise it won't
work. Thus I inserted
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1
as the very first line in sys5_idl_lmgrd. Furthermore, I enccountered
a slight problem with the cursor (reported earlier in this newsgroup)
which you can solve with
export XCURSOR_CORE=1
regards,
Bringfried
