Right. But I don't really know what is happening here. Failing to find the
iptool DLM is pretty unrelated to the X server. We also don't know whether
Richard is running the Apple beta X server, XDarwin, or something else.
The message "Unknown dynamically loadable module: iptool" means that IDL
didn't or can't read the IPTOOL.DLM file, which causes IDL to not know about
the DLM. I would first investigate installation and permission problems.
Richard might also try calling RSI Tech Support since they may have seen
this problem before.

I can't explain this either. I tried all these things on both OS X and Sun
and couldn't reproduce the problems. Both these failures seem pretty basic
and I would tend to look for installation issues.
