Hello,
We have IDL Version 2.1.2 running on a Sun (sunos4.1.sun4). We
normally use MIT XWindows on these machines, although OpenWindows
is still available. But when you ask IDL to perform some X work
(like ? or XLOADCT) in MIT XWindows, it aborts/crashes with the message:
OPEN LOOK Toolkit Error in application "idl":
Could not find default OPEN LOOK button font:
Resolution: d Point Size: 12
This is irritating, especially since we have another IDL running on
an IBM RS6000 where you can do these things under MIT XWindows.
Today they installed on the same Sun a demo of IMSLIDL (Version 1.0.0)
and this demo CAN do the X commands.
I looked at the differences: IMSLIDL sets OPENWINHOME and XAPPLRESDIR
to a directory of its own, and the procedures in userlib and widgets
are not identical. But using this with the old IDL doesn't solve the
problem.
Does anybody know how to fix this. Should we pick up a newer IDL version
or has there been an installation mistake?
Thanks in advance,
Garrelt Mellema
