I recently got the IDL student version and installed it on my MacBook
(2 G Intel Core Duo, OS X 10.4.7). The installation was smooth (but I
think I left X11 running at the same time). When I first started idl it
reported below:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
IDL Student Edition 6.2, Mac OS X (darwin ppc m32). (c) 2005, Research
Systems, Inc.
% X windows protocol error: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such
operation).
Installation number: 001.
Licensed for use by: IDL Student Version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
But I can still plot using X windows. However, after I restarted my
computer and try idl again, I don't get the plot but some report saying
X windows doesn't work... But I restarted it again and it works
normally although still with the same message above (i.e. protocol
error ...)
I am wondering what problem could this be... Is this related to Intel
processor? since the IDL seems to be built for PPC?
