Hi there,

just trying to display an array quick and dirty, IDL crashed on me with
a memory access violation repeatedly. Anyone having that (or similar)
problem as well? Is there a solution?

ingo> idl
IDL Version 6.1 (linux x86 m32). (c) 2004, Research Systems, Inc.
Installation number: xxxxx.
Licensed for use by: TU Braunschweig, IGM

****************NOTE FOR RedHat Enterprise USERS********************
Some functionality in this IDL release requires the libstdc++
compatiblity libraries to be installed. To check if the libraries
are already installed, execute 'rpm -qa | grep compat', and look for
"compat-libstdc++-<version_number>". If this is not listed, install
the appropriate RPM for your distribution (from your install CD's).

I reverted to a previous version of my x-server and it works again.

Hi..
I have a similar question.
I had been using idl 8.0 in my desktop pc with CENTOS 6 operating system. Now I want shift to laptop(Fedora 22 OS 64bit) in which I have idl 6.3 version installed.While compiling the previously written codes(which are working fine in idl 8.0), it shows syntax errors. Also, while trying to plot an image with tv 0r plot_image etc., it shows 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)' and idl crashes. What can be done for this?

Hi,
can't help you with the crashes, but the syntax errors are to be expected. IDL is very backwards compatible, but "unfortunately" not forward compatible. Your v8.0 code is for sure using functions/procedure calls that are not allowed in 6.3. The only way around (as far as I see), is to go through the code an fix those errors. It should not be too hard if you go in debugging mode...
Good luck and hope that you code is not in the 10^6 lines range :-)

Thank you very much for the information. I would be helpful if somebody could give an idea to resolve the idl crash while plotting images. hope it will work if I revert the xserver to older version(the problem is while plotting images but simlple line plots are working). Can i get some idea to revert it.
