I have a Linux machine that current segfaults with new graphics:

gamow> idl
IDL Version 8.3 (linux x86_64 m64). (c) 2013, Exelis Visual Information Solutions

IDL> a = plot(indgen(10))
% Loaded DLM: PNG.
Segmentation fault

There is a 2010 article from Exelis saying that for V8.0 this might be a symptom of needing to have separate C++ libraries for IDL, and describing how to do this.

http://www.exelisvis.com/Support/HelpArticlesDetail/TabId/21 9/ArtMID/900/ArticleID/4576/4576.aspx

But before I ask my system manager to update the C++ libraries used by IDL, I'd like to have a better idea if this article is still relevant for V8.3 and my Linux setup. I give some info on my setup below.

Thanks, --Wayne
