I actually do but just for the editing help. I have a bunch of
different IDL setups that I use making it just easier to use the
command line. For example the THEMIS package has namespace issues
with SolarSoft so you can only have one in your path at a time and I
have some DLMs that are 64 bit and some that are 32 so its just
easier.
Cheers,
Brian

Interesting, I am using Aquamacs too but never type idl, except for
testing which idl Vesion I have! You don't use idlwave?
IDL executable Version: IDL Version 7.0.4, Mac OS X (darwin ppc m32)
Workbench Version is: Version: 7.0.3 Build id: 20080908
In fact it is more than confusing these different version systems. I
assume for calculation, means application of idl, the executable
version is important, for development with the workbench the other
one! I think up to now the system variables reflect the executable
verion only.
The X11 Implementation (I am using 2.3.2.1 too from XQuartz) has
problems still, at least at PowerPC. I am trying to stay up to date.
Each revision gave improvements!

I'm running Xquartz 2.3.2.1 with no problems. In fact, the new
version solved a lot of problems for me, especially because windows
used to spontaneously die.suddenly die.
I also do not have the "click through to inactive windows" preferences
setting enabled, but "wm_click_through" *is* set, whatever that means.
I definitely needed to upgrade to the newest version of IDL in order
to make CURSOR work properly:
{ x86_64 darwin unix Mac OS X 7.0.4 Sep 3 2008 64 64}
I have no idea about Eclipse.

Actually, that's helpful to some degree - I have a couple versions of
IDL installed, apparently, but my startup line is:
IDL Version 7.0, Mac OS X (darwin i386 m32). (c) 2007, ITT Visual
Information Solutions
instead of the Version 7.0.6 with x86_64 I expect. So perhaps I have
a version issue? The executable I'm using that I believe is 7.0.6 is
in the same directory as a version.txt file containing "706", so I'm
not sure what the problem is.

That's the one I got this morning.

That's a good call. Last time I upgraded X11 it broke many things and
I lost a day trying to revert everything.

The newest X11/pkg seems to be 2.3.2.1 from here:
http://xquartz.macosforge.org/trac/
At one point X11.pkg was an issue as you state in the subject.
I seem to have 2.1.5 however... but since it's working and you're
having trouble I may not upgrade.

IDL 7.0.6 is a full IDL product release with a core version IDL 7.0.6
and an IDL Workbench version to match. IDL 7.0.6 incorporates all
previous recommended version 7.0.x Workbench updates.
If the IDL session shows version 7.0 instead of 7.0.6 then the older
core IDL 7.0 session is actually being invoked. If so, there are a
couple of different reasons I can think this might be happening:
1.) If the IDL_DIR environment variable in your shell environment is
pointing to the "idl70" directory rather than to the "idl706"
directory, then launching "idl" shell script, even from the idl706/bin
directory, will cause IDL 7.0 to launch. If this might be the case,
try redefining IDL_DIR to point to the idl706 directory or running the
IDL 7.0.6 setup script prior to issuing the "idl" command. For
example:
Bash shell:
export IDL_DIR=/Applications/itt/idl706
-or-
. /Applications/itt/idl706/bin/idl_setup.bash
C or tcsh shell:
setenv IDL_DIR=/Applications/itt/idl706
-or-
source /Applications/itt/idl706/bin/idl_setup
2.) Perhaps a UNIX alias or a symbolic link for the "idl" command is
explicitly launching IDL 7.0. To check this, issue the command:
which idl
-or-
alias idl
If this returns the path to an incorrect symbolic link or an incorrect
alias command, the link or alias can be altered, or try running the
IDL 7.0.6 setup script, as mentioned above, before issuing the "idl"
command to start the IDL 7.0.6 command line session.
If there still seems to be a problem, please send an email to
support@ittvis.com with a subject line "Attention: Jim Uba", and then
I'll continue to work with you directly. I can then post a solution
when we figure what is going wrong.
Hopefully correcting the IDL version problem will allow you use the
CURSOR fix as originally planned.
