Surprisingly OS X still isn't fully 64 bit capable. The core operating
system is, but the GUI and Visualization systems are still 32 bit. As
such, IDL has yet to be ported to 64 bit on OS X.

Apple has stated that the next version of the OS X (10.5) will be fully
64 bit.

Once Leopard is released, ITT can provide a 64 bit version of IDL.
