Linux installation problems.. [message #65867]

Hi,

ok, I now have a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 (yes, I had a wonderful
week-end full of recovery disks and tech support phone calls.. arg!)

I downloaded the latest Envi+IDL (4.6 - 7.0.8) and installed it. I got
no error message, just good messages. Surprisingly, the Installation
guide talks about selecting a directory, choosing to install the license
etc, but I had basically no choice (accept or quit). Anyways, I can see
that all files have been copied, the links have been created. I have
added the proper line to my .bashrc file...

now, at the command line, whatever I type (idl, idlde, envi,
ittlicense), I always get the same error:

jean@ubuntu:~$ idl
exec: 617: /usr/local/itt/idl708/bin/bin.linux.x86/idl: not found

jean@ubuntu:~$ find /usr/local/itt/idl708/bin/bin.linux.x86/idl
/usr/local/itt/idl708/bin/bin.linux.x86/idl

funny he!
Does anybody have any idea of what I (or ITT...) could have done wrong?
If it helps, I am on a 64bits machine..

I came across this link
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2008-October/ 162350.html
which talk about a(nother) assumption from ITTVIS... though I can figure
which script should be updated!

Ah, and another thing... though I am not sure if it is abnormal or not
at this stage: echo $IDL_PATH returns a blank line...
though echo $IDL_DIR returns the proper path ( /usr/local/itt/idl708 ),
which shows that the .bashrc configuration went well

Thanks a lot,
Jean
