IDL 8.1 itself seems OK in the very limited testing I have done using
some of my own routines, but lmgrd has been problematic. It keeps
crashing out when run from launchd, and complains about code-signing
errors. When run from a terminal it's OK, though if one uses the '-z'
option (as used in the launched plist) it dies immediately with an
'illegal instruction' error. However starting lmgrd from a regular
terminal is OK until I reboot - I can close the terminal and lmgrd
keeps running.
I contacted ITT about this, they don't (apparently) have any Lion
systems to test or build with as yet.

Only had a chance to very briefly try IDL 8.1 with Lion a couple of
days ago, but everything seemed fine (although I didn't get to try
David's graphics).
Regarding Reno's point B, I've always had the same X11 error messages
using David's routines on IDL 8 and 8.1 on Snow Leopard, running
XQuartz 2.5.3. It'd be good to hear any suggestions about how we
might fix this.
Cheers,
Matt

Hi
(I'm using IDL 7.1.1 and updated OS X 10.7 (Lion) over the weekend.)
I'm experiencing problems (I think) with X11 at the moment.
A) ImageMagick has gone. I may have installed it manually, but went
for re-installing MacPort (http://www.macports.org/) that is still
spitting series of errors both in X11 and Terminal.app, like,
reno$ convert
dyld: Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenCL.framework/
Versions/A/Libraries/libclparser.dylib
Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/convert
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
reno$
B) While I did not notice any problem with "direct" graphics, I am
having trouble with David's graphic tools. It's kind of strange
problem - showing error messages below, while graphics seems to work.
IDL> cgPlot, IndGen(10)
% X windows protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes).
% X windows protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes).
% X windows protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes).
% X windows protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes).
% X windows protocol error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes).
IDL>
With more complicated graphics, such as cgContour, with multiple plots
in a window, the responses are more puzzling - plot titles, labels,
plots, etc are randomly disappearing every time I tried.
I am told that Lion's is based on xorg-server-1.10.2, although XQuartz
2.6.3 will be based on xorg-server-1.10.3. I'm still searching for
solutions. I have not contacted ITTVIS, but wonder if they're willing
to support IDL 7.1.1 (not sure if version 8 is flawless).
Ta.

Stumbled on the version story here:

They told me the same thing. Right now I'm able to run idl and envi
on my MacbookPro by manually staring the lmgrd -c command.
