I downloaded the idl 6.3 from the official site to test a program
(.sav file) in a Linux machine.

We chose Ubuntu Feisty (7.04) on an i386 architecture. We made a basic
install (GNOME). The idl installation was simple:

> sudo mkdir /usr/local/rsi
> sudo tar -xzf idl_linux.x86.tar.gz -C /usr/local/rsi
> cd /usr/local/rsi
> ./install

The rest was very easy. So I could run idl and I got:

IDL Version 6.3 (linux x86 m32). (c) 2006, Research Systems, Inc.

But idlde only shows the idl bitmap for a moment and nothing more. Any
hints?

idldemo shows me:
