I spent 2 days working on that. This is completely pure waste on time.

1. Even executing xinstall.sh does not work unless you copy the cdrom
tree to another directory

2. Installation lets you install anywhere you want for idl, but the
license has a hardcoded /usr/local (even if you can manually change this
path, this does not look safe or intuitive)

3. The license manager thing is installed in a redhat manner which is
completely different from debian, and there is not a chance this will
work out of the box, so *yes* I have to start lmgrd manually.

I always send the log output of my problems, and no I am not making up
anything just to complain.
