Is it possible to use IDL 7.1 (7.1.1 or either 7.0) on Mac OS Lion?
When I try to install idl 7.1.1 (using idl711mac.zip) the following
error has been occurred:

LSOpenURLsWithRole() failed with error -10665 for the file .../
idl711mac/MacOSX/Disk1/InstData/Install.app.

This may come too late for Ivan, but for other users who are having the same problem installing from the disk, I got around this issue by cd'ing (from the terminal) to /Volumes/IDL71/ & running the install_unix.sh file AS ROOT:

$ sudo ./install_unix.sh

I went with the default directory, /usr/local.

I could not get the licensing wizard to run properly after the installation was done, but instead I copied the license.dat file provided to me into /usr/local/itt/license.

**For those who, like me, can't find /usr/local w/the GUI, click on "Go to Folder.." from "Go" in the Finder taskbar & enter "/usr/local".

IDL seems to be working fine so far.
