Hi there:
I'm using IDL 7 in Fedora 9, but the GUI crashes when I run idlde. Is
there anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Here is the crash report:

Dear Greg,
Are you using Fedora 9 64bit?.
We had some other users with the same problems. Only one was using FC9
64bit and he fixed the problem by deleting that 32bit package. Firefox
3 64bit in his system continue to work fine.
Other users using RH5 64bit has used the following method to fix their
problem:
1- Download firefox-2.0.0.14.tar.gz (this is 32-bit) from
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-2.0.0.14&os =linux&lang=en-US
2- Install it where you want. (For example: /usr/lib/
firefox-2.0.0.14)
3- Then, depending on your shell script, i.e. cshrc, .profile,
or .bashrc file, set up the enviroment variable, like:
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14
4- Now, try commands: idlde and idlhelp
I asked a user of FC9 64bit to try that and it didn't work, that's why
in that case the only solution was to remove the 32bit package that I
mention in the previous reply.
The HotSpot error message also points to libxul.so and that was the
clue we have to solve the problem of the other users. Do you have such
an error message too?
Are you using a beta version of Firefox 3?. If Firefox is a 64bit
application in your 64bit system then it shouldn't hurt to remove the
xulrunner 32bit package. I understand that can be install again, but
of course, this is a decision that you have to take, if you are
confident working with Linux systems.

No - 32 bit. I have a 64 bit computer, but am currently running a 32
version of Fedora 9.

I actually thought of this and tried it, but it does not work.

Yes. See below for the error message:

No -- I'm using the Firefox 3.0 release.
For 32-bit, Firefox depends upon xulrunner, so I cannot simply remove
it without removing Firefox. Installing or removing applications is a
non-issue for me.
Here is the error message:
# An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine:
#
# SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x04e862d4, pid=10449, tid=3087616320

# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (1.5.0_11-b03 mixed mode)
# Problematic frame:
# C [libxul.so+0x9ac2d4]
#

hs_err_pid10449.log

I was able to fix the idlde problem by adding the following line to /
usr/local/rsi/idl70/idlde/idlde.linux.x86.ini
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null
However, this fix *does not* work for idlhelp...
...so I'm still at a loss.
Thanks,
Greg

I am not quite sure how I got there but I have idl working and the
help also working (by help I mean using the "Help Contents" menu
option).
No more crash.
Updated the idl version to 7.0.3 (I think this prevents idlhelp
command from crashing but it does nothing now: no crash, no errors, no
results)
Changed the Web browser preference (this also produced crashes before)
- needed to disable xulrunner to prevent crashes by renaming
temporarily /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9
- New pref uses htmlviewer (or can be firefox directly)
But I have one machine back to the default system browser and it
seems ok so it might not be necessary
Finally I applied the fix mentionned above (see Greg), i.e. editing
idlde.linux.x86.ini to have
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null
Cheers
Christian
P.S. On my 64 bit system I was unable to update to 7.0.3 until I
disabled ipv6 (I used something like "ifconfig lo inet6 del ::1/128"
on all my interfaces). Without this I was getting errors of "Network
connection problems..."
