On some of my machines, I cannot get the bridge to work. The error message is mystical and I have no idea how to dig deeper ... Any tips?

Thanks,
G

I cannot get this to

Hi Gianguido,

I had in the past some similar message.
Did restarting your computer solve this kind of issue... if so it certainly means that you have IDL processes still run/idlde in the background... sometimes IDL is not able to kill some IDL_Bridge process, it's a known bug under Linux and Os X.

I solved it by going into the Activity Monitor and manually killed remaining IDL processes...

Cheers
Antoine

Merci Antoine,

but that was not the problem. No zombie IDL process and a restart does not solve it either...
I am wondering if there is a way to make obj_new() more verbose... or maybe there is a way to call the idl_idlbridge dll from somewhere else.... just a way to get more info on what's failing....

What happens if you try it with a different "output" path? See this thread:

That link has a strange syntax. as if there were a function called idl_idlbridge() which there isn't...

At any rate I get the same error with all of the following lines:

IDL> a=obj_new('idl_idlbridge', output='')
% Unable to start IDL_IDLBRIDGE slave process.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

IDL> a=obj_new('idl_idlbridge', output='~/hahha.txt')
% Unable to start IDL_IDLBRIDGE slave process.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

IDL> a=obj_new('idl_idlbridge')
% Unable to start IDL_IDLBRIDGE slave process.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$


Very useless error message :-(

Also, in idl 8.1 I get something slightly different:

IDL> a=obj_new('idl_idlbridge')
% Unable to start IDL_IDLBRIDGE slave process.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

IDL> a=obj_new('idl_idlbridge', output='~/hahha.txt')
% Unable to start IDL_IDLBRIDGE slave process.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

IDL> a=obj_new('idl_idlbridge', output='')
% Dynamically loadable module failed to load: GMEM.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
% Dynamically loadable module failed to load: GMEM.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

% Unable to start IDL_IDLBRIDGE slave process.

Do you have some environment variable set that is causing IDL to find the "wrong" IDL bridge executable, or none at all?

If you do "env", do you see anything related to IDL? If so, I would suggest commenting it out in your shell file and see what happens.
