Well I tried again multiple times cannot get passed this damned license
thing. I switched to a win32 box and after a few tries I got it working...

Oops the web site is rsinc, but my subconscient made me write rsync the
well known transfer protocol :)

If you ever modify the content of the license file, it will invalidate
it, and the license manager won't be happy. You should never change the
content of a license file, when you need a new one you should ask a new
one from RSI (is that who you meant by 'rsync' ?)
For your particular case, I would think the correct paths are set up in
the license files during the installation process. I would guess that
something went wrong during your installation. It might be a lot easier
to just re-install the thing... (maybe even using the "suggested" paths
to simplify the whole thing ;))
IIRC, the installation is a little confusing - you have to untar the
IDL archive directly in the final installation directory, and launch
./install from it, which is very unusual.

Yeah, I know, you're supposed to launch it at boot time like a service,
but I couldn't be bothered to set it up correctly :-)
Cheers

Salut Vincent,

Look at the Installing and Licensing IDL manual. In IDL 6.0 it's located at
IDL_DIR/help/instlic.pdf. There's probably a copy on the CD as well.

Hi Mathieu,
I am Antonio. I don't know nothing about the license problem, but I was
solved the problem I was report on your previous google groups links.
The problem were a bit stupid :(, only thing I need to solve it was
allow file execution on CD directory :)
I have installed IDL on an Ubuntu (Debian based) distribution and have
some related problems with XML and also with STDC++. I send you a couple
of links that possible interest you:

Did you bother to read the "Installing and Licensing IDL" manual, which
tells you exactly how to do this?
