Also, as far as finding where the intallation process put things, you
can try, as root:

updatedb
(this will take a hwile but update the database of where everything is)

locate idl (or sometimes slocate idl) should sho wyou where idl things
are put...

Hope this helps,
Gianguido

PS: whule installing idl6.0 on Red Hat I always got a bunch of kryptic
error messages I could dismiss with a mouseclick. It turns out all the
functionality I need was still there despite the errors...
