IIRC you only get asked that if you try to install the IDL/Java bridge.

It works here. I've not done much testing on RH9, but it certainly starts
and I can do very simple plots.

I'm using stock RH9 which has glibc-2.3.2-11.9 - how did you end up with a
different (earlier) version? IDL was downloaded from RSI, installed on our
IRIX server, and the disk exported to the RH machine.
