Hi,
I ahve the same problem and here my posts
(http://www.grahi.upc.edu/santiago/?p=128)
, but I think you have been read it in the threads you mention.
The big (and stupid problem) is I don't remember the most importat step :(
To solve your problem I think remember I installed IDL without graphics
version, with: xintall --no-gui or something similar. See README or
PDF's in the installation CD's.
Sorry, for this helpless answer. I must remove and reinstall IDL on my
ubuntu distro to remember what was the problem.

Hi Antonio,
You might not wanna remove and try on a working system... My IDL
software is the student version 6.0. Who knows what the differences are
(for example, in the way things are packaged/scripts etc.) other than
the software available in each of them. But I appreciate your offer. I
saw your posts and installed the libstdc++ libraries you mentioned..
<heh> With the advent of technology life gets more complicated day by
day!
Btw, in my case there is no other way to install other than XINSTALL.
It is such a joke..
Check this out:
If you cat the xinstall.sh file, you will see:
helpless_user@the_mercy_of_rsi:~$ cat /cdrom/xinstall.sh|grep gui
NOGUI_SCRIPT=$CDROM_DIR/install/no_gui/no_gui.sh
NOGUI_SCRIPT=$CDROM_DIR/install/no_gui/no_gui.sh
but after this:
helpless_user@suffering_from_Repetitive_Stress_Injury:~$ ls
/cdrom/install/
base1.tz filesize.txt ion_java.tz ionscrpt.tz mapshigh.tz
xi_lin86.tz
base2.tz idl_help.tz ionj_bin.tz javab.tz unpack.sh xinstall
demo.tz ion_base.tz ions_bin.tz linux_x.tz wavelet.tz
xinstall.tz
--
Voila! No such directory as no_gui and no script called no_gui.sh Oh,
no! I know what crime, I did. I am running the "student version". We
can't ask for more.

Hi Wolf,
I tried this already and no luck.. it's the same situation.. ItThe
script not found error.. I guess I have no option other than check the
install scripts and see where the error is coming from.. I tried
grepping the error message from the couple of scripts provided with the
CD, i.e; the xinstall.sh and the ones inside the install directory:
i.e;
cat unpack.sh|grep post_unpack
and nothing turned up. Anyways, I am at a loss. My mind is not in this,
but on the work I need to do before my research meeting. But I guess I
have no other option but to dig deeper.
I appreciate you taking time off to reply.
Raj
