IDL crashes after Mac OSX 10.7.3 upgrade from 10.7.2 [message #79105] Thu, 02 February 2012 13:33 Go to next message

IDL 8.0 was working fine before I updated my machine to Mac OSX 10.7.3
from 10.7.2. Now, when I try to open IDL, I get a full crash report
before workbench opens. I can open ENVI+IDL, but IDL is open only in
an X11 pane. My guess is there is a problem with the Workbench. Has
anyone seen this problem before?

Warning to other Mac users! Don't use software update just yet!

I received this reply on the Exelis forum. This solved my issue, but
to clarify, my issue was just with the workbench crashing. Some folks
are having every application crash on open (yikes)!

Could you please follow the procedure below and see if that helps with
your problem:

1) If you are running any instances of IDL, please shut them down.

2) Open a terminal window and navigate to the /bin/bin.darwin.x86_64
directory. For example, if you are using IDL 8.1 installed in the
Applications directory, type the following command:


cd /Applications/itt/idl/idl81/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64

3) Rename the following three files: libcurl.4.0.1.dylib, libcurl.
4.dylib and libcurl.dylib. For example,

mv libcurl.4.0.1.dylib libcurl.4.0.1.dylib.bak
mv libcurl.4.dylib libcurl.4.dylib.bak
mv libcurl.dylib libcurl.dylib.bak

If your login does not have adequate permissions to make these
changes,
you may need to issue the commands with "sudo" privileges. For
example:

sudo mv ./libcurl.4.0.1.dylib libcurl.4.0.1.dylib.bak
sudo mv ./libcurl.4.dylib libcurl.4.dylib.bak
sudo mv ./libcurl.dylib libcurl.dylib.bak

4) Restart IDL. If it still fails to launch, try restarting your
system.

You may need to [re]apply the combo updater for 10.7.3. Crashing apps are unfortunately a known side effect of the update for some people when performed through Software Update.

You may also need to reinstall X-windows if the update touched some of those files:

Actually the same situation with IDL 7.1! I'm now trying to restore
Mac OSX 10.7.2 from my Timemachine. :(

This worked for me. I didn't use the terminal window, I just went to those files and renamed them.
