sharable libraries with linux [message #6223]

I'm considering purchasing a copy of IDL for linux but have one or two
concerns about it in regards to linking to sharable libraries.

1. I notice that the demo version is in an a.out binary format. Most
distributions of Linux are moving to an ELF binary format, making it
somewhat tedious to work with IDL under linux.

2. Neither linkimage, nor call_external seem to be supported under
linux, and the callable method of interacting with IDL (i.e. from a
compiled C program) won't work because the demo doesn't come with any
idl library to link against.

So my questions are these: Does RSI support ELF versions of linux, or do
they intend to in the future, and is there something I've overlooked as far
as getting additional code into the linux version of IDL.

TIA

Jeremy
