IDL 4.01 is linked against some very old aout-libraries:
hell:bin.linux% ldd idl
libXt.so.6 (DLL Jump 6.0) => /usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout/libXt.so.6
libX11.so.6 (DLL Jump 6.0) => /usr/X11R6/lib/i486-linuxaout/libX11.so.6
libc.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /usr/local/lib/libc.so.4
libm.so.4 (DLL Jump 4.6pl27) => /usr/local/lib/libm.so.4

(this is not RH, so locations of the libs are different for you)
If you still have the old RH you possibly can grab those libraries
and install them manually.
At least that works for me (both Debian 2.0 and SuSE 6.1)
