I do not know where the dependencies originate. But IDL definitely
needs a better installer, capable of figuring out if there are any
missing dependencies. The nonuniformity of Linux distributions is no
excuse, since there are several proprietary applications that have
much easier installation. A few common examples:

1) Acrobat and Skype. Both share many dependencies with IDL, as I
mentioned in this thread.

2) Intel's compilers and VTune. Both use Eclipse.

3) Sun's Java, Netbeans and compiler Studio.

4) Google Earth and Opera.

Of those, Acrobat and Skype provide repositories for Fedora (and I
guess other distributions too), while the rest provide either rpm
packages or install scripts that do a much better job than IDL's.
