I'm trying to run idl 7 on a 64 bit system running ubuntu 12.10. idl fails whenever I try to open a graphics window:
IDL> window,/fr
idl: brw_program.c:261: brwInitFragProgFuncs: Assertion `functions->ProgramStringNotify == _tnl_program_string' failed

Does anyone have a fix for this?

Alan

Hi Alan,

I'm having the same problem, on roughly the same system (mint 13 which is ubuntu 12.10 based). Did you find out how to solve the issue?

Cheers
Richard

Search the comp.lang.idl-pvwave archives for libX11.so.6

Also http://www.idlcoyote.com/misc_tips/segfault.html

Cheers.

Dear Fernando,

Thank you very much for your response. I ran the command, but unfortuately, the error remains. As soon as I try to create a window, IDL aborts.

IDL> window
idl: brw_program.c:261: brwInitFragProgFuncs: Assertion `functions->ProgramStringNotify == _tnl_program_string' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)

I saw some hints on the web that this error might be related to direct rendering. I have an Ivy Bridge Graphics card, running the intel driver with GLX Version: 3.0 Mesa 8.0.4 .

Do you have any other ideas?

Thanks again!
Cheers,
Richard

Dear Alan and Richard,

Try this:

Run IDL in Software Rendering mode, by starting IDL in this way:

idl -IDL_GR_X_RENDERER 1
idlde -IDL_GR_X_RENDERER 1

Cheers,
Fernando

Hi Richard,

Did you find a solution to your problem? I am also facing similar issues. I also tried saving the libX11.so.6 to my location as mentioned in the link below, but it still gives me the same error.
