This is a problem with the development environment - IDL itself seems
to be working fine.
I've got IDL 7.0 installed on Mac OSX 10.7.3 (this was a bit of a
hack, because the installer is a PowerPC app, and 10.7 doesn't have
Rosetta - in the end I just copied the entire folder from a
colleague's computer). Things have been working fine for a long
time. I recently took a break from coding to try and actually publish
some results, but now when I go back to IDL the development
environment crashes every single time I do something which generates a
pull-down menu (I *think* this is the common element). Certainly it
crashes if I click on the menubar, or right-click on a file/folder in
the project explorer - but otherwise IDL seems to be working fine
(including the little icon shortcuts below the menubar). I can
somewhat get work done because it's still possible to do many things
with keyboard shortcuts, but I can't update/commit from/to my svn
repositories which is certainly a big problem.
I suspect that at some point a java (?) update broke the eclipse hack
itt put together, but in that case I'm surprised that I haven't been
able to google any cases of other people with the same problem. Since
I wasn't actively coding as the time it's difficult to pin down what
broke it or even when - all I know is that in early January (?) it
worked and as of last week it doesn't.
Has anybody else had a similar problem?
I normally run it via a link to the "IDLSnapFileOpen" app in the main
directory, but the error message I get when the same problem after
running IDLDE from the command line is:
$ pwd
/Applications/itt/idl70/bin
$ ./idlde
Invalid memory access of location 0x0 eip=0x0
Bus error: 10
The "send your report to Apple" error log is 1179 lines long, so I
hesitate to post the entire message. The lines near the top I
(arbitrarily?) identified as important and have been googling for (and
hopefully brings some other people with a similar problem to this
page) are:
Crashed Thread: 0 Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x0000000000000000

Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (20.4-b02-402 mixed mode macosx-
x86)
Perhaps it is a red-herring, but I have attempted to learn more by
installing the non-itt version of eclipse (3.7.2)... this works,
although if I try the instructions here:
http://www.idlcoyote.com/workbench/addtoeclipse.html
For adding the IDLDE to this installation I can't get the hybrid to
work. On startup I get a "fatal error initializing DML" popup box,
followed by "fatal error initializing main IDL process" and the error:
Failed to load idl_jdml from /Applications/itt/idl70/idlde/
bin.darwin.i386 (it is set by the property JDMLDir.)
(although there is a file named "libidl_jdml.jnilib" there - perhaps
the naming convention changed between versions of eclipse?)
Incidentally, this is the same result that I get if I run the itt
idlde from the "wrong" directory:
$ pwd
/Applications/itt/idl70/idlde/idlde.darwin.universal.app/Con tents/
MacOS
$ ./idlde
Failed to load idl_jdml from /Applications/itt/idl70/idlde/
bin.darwin.i386 (Use default IDL)
So perhaps I should be running my hacked version of eclipse from a
different spot? Currently my script to setup things runs from the
first eclipse directory.

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,

So, I'm wondering how exact you mean when you say "the same"... if
there's some difference in our setups maybe some things can be ruled
out as lower probability. What version of IDL and OSX do you have?
I've also tried doing the modifications on both the latest version of
eclipse as well as 3.3, neither worked and both gave the same error.
Following this thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.idl-pvwave/browse_t hread/thread/e876ab4d48f64cd0
I tried to look at the dependencies of libidl_jdml.jnilib, but it
looks like they are all there:
$ otool -L libidl_jdml.jnilib libidl_jdml.jnilib:

Although I have to admit I'm not sure if I should be worried about all
these version 0.0.0 references...

So far, no resolution. I've just been using IDL without generating
any popup menus and cursing whenever I accidentally do so and cause it
to crash... I need to start doing some more serious coding today,
though, so I won't be able to survive without interacting with my
repository (the last thing I don't know how to do via a shortcut key).

Hi,
i have the SAME EXACT error and I'm arrived in your exact same point.
i'm trying to search a way for resolve the fatal error of new eclipse
but for now no solution found.
Did you have resolved it in some way?

Unfortunately my group's license is for 7.0; we considered upgrading
to 8 when it came out, but unfortunately the type of license we'd been
purchasing so far was no longer available. I see that Lion still
isn't a supported OS, in any case, so if fixing this problem is our
main motivation for upgrading it makes sense to wait a while longer.
Re-copying the entire itt directory from my colleague's computer
results in the same behavior.
For starting fresh via the "unix installer" - do you mean re-
installing the mac version using a unix installer included with it (I
could not find one) or installing the unix-specific version?
I tried installing the unix-specific version, but it does not run for
me... I think this is a different problem however. Since I don't want
to ruin a (somewhat) working installation of IDL I unpack it into a
new directory:
/Applications/itt_unix/
and run the installer. I don't let it create symbolic links in my /
usr/local/bin directory, instead choosing "option 3" which is to put /
Applications/itt_unix/idl/bin/idl_setup.bash in my startup file
I check to make sure it actually ran the startup file:
$ echo $ITT_DIR
/Applications/itt_unix
$ echo $IDL_DIR
/Applications/itt_unix/idl70
Looks good... so now I try and run it, but get an error:
$ idlde
/Applications/itt_unix/idl70/bin/idlde: line 513: /Applications/
itt_unix/idl70/idlde/idlde.darwin.universal.app/Contents/Mac OS/idlde:
No such file or directory
/Applications/itt_unix/idl70/bin/idlde: line 513: exec: /Applications/
itt_unix/idl70/idlde/idlde.darwin.universal.app/Contents/Mac OS/idlde:
cannot execute: No such file or directory
It seems that the script idlde figures out what OS I've got on (and
after) line 99, and bases some internal paths on that.
# Determine the operating system, hardware architecture, and os
release
# Make sure these agree with IDL's compiled in paths or online help
# won't be found.
Perhaps I should I start modifying this file to try and make things
work, or is that heading too far astray?
Thanks again,
Christian

Hi Christian,
I had the same problem a month ago, and first the procedure found here :
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
wasn't working. But it's was because I didn't apply it in the good directory (bin.darwin.i386 instead of bin.darwin.x86_64).
I don't know If you already tried to do the procedure in both directories ?

You're in the wrong newsgroup. Please post this to comp.lang.occult.

Not that I'm looking for some sort of "reviving your old dead thread"
necromancy award... but today I accidentally hit the "edit" menu, and
cringed while I waited for my IDL session to crash... but shockingly
it *didn't* this time. At first I thought that some java update might
have fixed the problem... but clicking around I've noticed that some
*but not all* of the buttons on the menu bar actually cause this crash
(or, at least, at this point in time because I'd never thoroughly
checked before).
Causes the crash:
Apple logo
IDL Workbench
File
Navigate
Search
Window
Help
Does not cause a crash:
Edit
Source
Project
Run
I find myself strangely fascinated by this - mostly that clicking on
the Apple logo also falls into the "causes the crash" category, given
that I always that that was an OS-handled button, not an application-
handled button.
