Mac OSX and IDL6.3 [message #48791]

Hello,

I have installed IDL 6.3 onto a Mac OSX (10.4) G4 laptop. In the past
(pre 6.3) I have used Terminal.app for the command line - which works
great as long as X11 is running. Now I have bumped into a problem with
where IDL 6.3 starts and runs from the Terminal.app command line, but
when I invoke any graphics commands (PLOT, TV, etc.) IDL exits with a
"bus error". Oddly, a HELP, !D,/STRUCT shows that X is the graphics
device but HELP, /DEVICE results in the bus error problem. I *can*
run IDL 6.3 just fine from the X11 command line - but that command line
is quite limited compared to Terminal. I am holding off on installing
other places until this gets resolved.

The error is logged in /Library/Logs/idl.crash.log but it is all Greek
(or is it Latin?) to me. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

Thanks!
Ben
