I was able to get it working using the info here, and playing around with it a bit. Here's the error I was getting:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/itt/idl/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64/libidl.7.1.dylib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5


It looks like Yosemite no longer has /usr/X11, instead it has /opt/X11.So my first solution was to create a symbolic link:

sudo ln -s /opt/X11 /usr/X11


Then it gave me another error:

dyld: Symbol not found: _inflateReset2
Referenced from: /System/Library/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/libPng.dylib
Expected in: /Applications/itt/idl/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64/libz.1.dylib
in /System/Library/Frameworks/ImageIO.framework/Versions/A/Reso urces/libPng.dylib
Trace/BPT trap: 5


and so I deleted this file (which is actually a sym link i think):
/Applications/itt/idl/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64/libz.1.dylib

and now we are golden, it works great!
