idlde -32 for the Workbench in 32-bit.

You can certainly run 32bit IDL on your 64bit Linux - provided you have
the necessary 32bit libraries installed. Some distros. include both in a
default install, others require you to install them explicitly. If you
can run any 32bit executable then you are probably ok.
AFAIK the IDL Linux distribution contains both the 64bit and 32bit
versions, and installs both. If your IDL installation directory contains
bin/bin.linux.x86/ then you already have it. To run it add the flag -32
to the idl command. I don't know how you'd run it from the IDE because I
don't use idlde.
So, just try the command "idl -32" and see if it works...
