Yes, the inability to link to code library entries is particularly
frustrating. The awful search is one thing, but once I do finally find
what I am looking for I should be able to point to it so that I can show
someone else.

I would think quite a bit makes it to Tech Tips, only to
be lost by that search engine of theirs that appears to
suffer from an advanced stage of Alzheimers.
Since it is impossible to link to anything on ITTVIS's
web page, I was trying to describe to someone last week
how to get to IDL Revolution, probably the most useful
IDL program ever produced by ITTVIS. Even though I gave
explicit instructions (start here, use these keywords
in the search, etc.) the person never was successful
in finding the darn program. Finally, she just gave
up in frustration. I know the feeling well. :-(
Cheers,
David

That would be my first guess as well. But again, guessing is
necessary. They should at least make the IDL installer check for every
dependency that is not included in basic installs of the major
distributions, so that it could tell what is missing in most cases.
Even most configure scripts do a better job of complaining about
missing things.
It would also help if ITTVIS used a forum for support, instead of only
private emails to the users, so that we could search for previous
discussions of the same problems. As it is now, not many of the issues
make it to a tech tip.

I just got what appears to be the same error, with another F12
install, and it was solved by installing java-1.6.0-openjdk.i686 from
the standard Fedora repository (though it could be that it was
actually one of its dependencies that was missing).
Also, I noticed that a similar result to installing Adobe Reader as I
mentioned above was obtained installing Skype from its repository (in
a clean F12 install, it causes a very large number of libraries to be
installed). And libXp is also necessary (even for command line), which
I did not mention before because for that there is an actual clear
error message when it is missing.
