So I downgraded to the same version that my coworker had installed
(XQuartz 2.2.3) and then updated, one step at a time, up the most
recent version. I don't know what the difference is, but IDL gives me
a 'bus error' for any of the XQuartz 2.3.3.* versions. Everything
works fine with the 2.3.2.1 version, which is what I have installed
now. I don't know if this makes any difference, but I am using ssh
from a Windows machine with PuTTY and Xming (can't get cygwin to work
on Vista); however, when I went into work for a few minutes today I
was able to ssh using another Mac (or a linux box) and use IDL without
any problems.
Someone with more experience than I might want to look into this and
see what the real issue is. Thanks everyone.
