I have a new linux box running fedora core 9. I have IDL 7.0
installed. IDL works fine, but when I try to run IDLDE, I receive the
following error message:
Failed to load idl_jdml from /usr/local/itt/idl70/idlde/bin.linux.x86
(Use default IDL)
I read somewhere that this problem might be fixed by one of these:
yum install libstdc++.so.5
yum install compat-libstdc++-33
But I am still getting the same problem.
The platform is 64 bit. I'm pretty sure I installed the correct
version of IDL.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

ITTVIS helped me resolve my problem. Thanks.
If any of you are in the same boat. It seems like my problem was not
with the Xulrunner library. I did finally find and install the "IDL
7.0 Linux Firefox 3 Update" see how to get it at (http://
groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/browse_thread/t hread/
60d083e2d085e251/c4b994c4f2bea8b1#c4b994c4f2bea8b1), which supposedly
takes care of the xulrunner thing, and that had no effect on my issue.
I don't actually know if my idl-help was working or not before that,
but it worked fine after that patch, and IDLDE still failed to work.
Anyway, for me, following the instructions from ITTVIS, the results of
cd-ing to the /usr/local/itt/idl70/idlde/bin.linux.x86 directory, and
then issuing this command "ldd libidl_jdml.so" was the following:
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00110000)
libidl_dml.so => not found
libidl.so.7.0 => not found
libidl_ops.so.7.0 => not found
libidl_ipcclient.so.7.0 => not found
libXp.so.6 => not found
libXpm.so.4 => not found
libXmu.so.6 => not found
libXext.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x002c4000)
libXt.so.6 => not found
libSM.so.6 => /usr/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x002d4000)
libICE.so.6 => /usr/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x002dc000)

libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00456000)
libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x005bf000)
libXau.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXau.so.6 (0x00678000)
libuuid.so.1 => /lib/libuuid.so.1 (0x0067b000)
libxcb-xlib.so.0 => /usr/lib/libxcb-xlib.so.0 (0x0067f000)
libxcb.so.1 => /usr/lib/libxcb.so.1 (0x00681000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x009aa000)
libXdmcp.so.6 => /usr/lib/libXdmcp.so.6 (0x0069d000)
I figured I just needed to install the missing ones. When I did a yum
install on libXp, libXpm, libXmu, libXt I just got the reply that
those libraries were installed and up to date. But the trick was to
do a "yum update" with the complete name of each of the missing
libraries. For example: "yum update libXp.so.6". After that
everything worked.
I still get "not found" for the libidl* packages, but apparently
that's not important.

The link did not work for me either. Perhaps this is another
manifestation of the ITTVIS web site being a bit broken (and Bill may
also have mistyped the tip#). As Bill Okubo wrote on a different
thread yesterday: "We completely overhauled the ITT VIS website over
the weekend and some things are still not working correctly."
Anyway, I did file a request with ITTVIS tech support yesterday and
received this quick reply from one of the tech support folks:

I returned the information yesterday at about 1pm, but have yet to
hear back.
I'd rather go for installing a patch or installing some libraries than
removing stuff from my system that might require me to downgrade my
version of Firefox. So, I'm waiting to hear back fro ITTVIS.
I did find another mention of this on the ITT user forum where a
person said they only had to remove the i386 versions of Xulrunner and
some other things to make it work - and this did not impact
functionality because they still had the 64-bit versions.

Waiting to hear back from ITTVIS

I had the same experience following the link. I wasn't
able to find the patch, either, although I did get on
to what appeared to be the ITTVIS technical support page.

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I couldn't browse your link and just did a google search found this:
5395:Firefox 3, XULRunner and IDL Help issue?
I couldn't find a patch link there either. Are we talking about the
same problem?
I will be glad if you check this topic once more.
