Dear Christian,
Looking at the two error messages that you have got, namely:
> $ ./idlde
> Invalid memory access of location 0x0 eip=0x0
> Bus error: 10
and
> Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
The solution might be explained in this latested Help Article:
http://www.exelisvis.com/Support/HelpArticleDetail/ArticleId /4698/IDL-8-1-Workbench-crashing-on-Mac-OS-X-10-7-2-and-10-7 -3.aspx
I hope that Article helps. Lets us know how this goes.
Cheers,
Fernando
