Dear All,
IDL 6.3 Intel native is running fine when called from the Xterminal or
from idlde. However, when run from IDLWAVE it crashes (better
implodes and collapses) whenever a graphic command is issued. It used
to be fine with IDL 6.2.
I have tried setting DISPLAY equal to both ":0.0" an ":0", in .bashrc
and in .MacOSX/environment.plist. Curiosly, if Xwindows is not running
it looks for it appropriately,
% PLOT: Unable to connect to X Windows display: :0.0
% PLOT: Unable to open X Windows display.
Is your DISPLAY environment variable set correctly?
but when it is running it collapses on every graphic command. Then
when IDL is recalled, it displays a bus error from the previous
session.
If I enquire the system from the xterminal within IDL I get
IDL> $env
TERM=xterm
DISPLAY=:0.0
from IDWAVE, first, I need to call twice the idl shell (C-c C-s is
undefined on first call), then the environment variables are different:
IDL> $env
TERM=dumb
there is no DISPLAY variable
Any help in solving this is much appreciated.
all the best,
Javier
