Hi,

I am trying to install idl 32 bit in a 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 system. It got installed peacefully. But, when I type idl in the terminal, it shows the following error.

error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory.

I was not able to install the 32 bit libraries also after a lot of google searches.

I think some of you might have had the same problem while instaling, so asking.

Thanks in advance,

Krishnakumar

What have you tried? When I search for libXp in my opensuse software manager, the 32 bit version is listed as libXp6-32bit. I think Ubuntu has a similar package, search for it and install it.

Lajos

Try installing the following packages:

lib32stdc++6
ia32-libs

NOTE: 32-bit linux is not a supported platform for IDL 8.3
