>> It is my first post here, in fact, I was the one who wrote to David to find a solution for older IDL versions to run on OS X Yosemite. Like Cesar said, the newer versions of IDL (8.3+) are working on Yosemite. I downloaded the demo version of ENVI 5.1 and tested on Yosemite with everything working flawlessly.

It seems that libz needs some sort of symbol called "_inflateReset2" presented in libPng, but it is missing in the newer version included in the OS. Both IDL versions fails with the same error. When I installed IDL 8.3 I noticed that it doesn't use libz anymore, and, therefore, the error is gone.

The problem is that I don't know how to do it and neither if that is possible. I assume that Apple could fix this easily and I filled a bug report, but has I don't thrust on "easy fixes" from Apple, I wonder if any good soul would be willing to help me in this subject.

Backup IDL's libz.1.dylib somewhere, then remove it from /Applications/itt/idl71/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64. Now IDL will have to use the system zlib and probably it has the missing symbol.
