Thanks Doug!
Yes, the USGS' ISIS software DLMs only run on 32 bit for Macs and
PCs. Linux it runs with both 64 and 32 bit. Mr. Piper I think we
have finally found our reason. Appreciate the help Doug.

Hi Hawaiianite,

Apple did not provide a 32-bit version of Java 1.6 for OS 10.5. They do
provide it with 10.6. The IDL 8.1 workbench is written in Java and
requires Java 1.6. So, you'll either need to go 64-bit with IDL or
switch to Mac OS 10.6.

Out of curiosity, any particular reason to go with 32-bit IDL? Do you
have a DLM that's 32-bit?

Cheers,
Doug
