I just upgraded to Fedora 15 (which has been out for over two months
already), and found new ways in which IDL (8.1) fails to work:
1) The license manager is broken. It thinks that the host ID is
000000000000, and thus obviously does not match what is in the license
file.
2) It still takes installing both Adobe Reader and Skype to fix some
of its missing dependencies, as I reported several times earlier.
3) t is now even more broken with 3D rendering than I reported before,

Now trying to manipulate any 3D graphics in isurface crashes IDL. That
is using hardware rendering. But surface() seems to work. Using
software rendering makes isurface work, though very slowly (several
seconds to rotate a simple dist(100)), and breaks completely anything
in New Graphics, on creation, even if just 2D.
Most readers here know I do not like using Direct Graphics, and have
been using iTools and the New Graphics. But it is hard if they insist
on getting broken.
As for 7.1.1, I cannot even get its Workbench to start.
Later I will see if different video drivers make any difference
regarding the rendering problems. But the LM issue manages to be even
more serious, making it pretty much unusable now.
