Unfortunately my group's license is for 7.0; we considered upgrading
to 8 when it came out, but unfortunately the type of license we'd been
purchasing so far was no longer available. I see that Lion still
isn't a supported OS, in any case, so if fixing this problem is our
main motivation for upgrading it makes sense to wait a while longer.
Re-copying the entire itt directory from my colleague's computer
results in the same behavior.
For starting fresh via the "unix installer" - do you mean re-
installing the mac version using a unix installer included with it (I
could not find one) or installing the unix-specific version?
I tried installing the unix-specific version, but it does not run for
me... I think this is a different problem however. Since I don't want
to ruin a (somewhat) working installation of IDL I unpack it into a
new directory:
/Applications/itt_unix/
and run the installer. I don't let it create symbolic links in my /
usr/local/bin directory, instead choosing "option 3" which is to put /
Applications/itt_unix/idl/bin/idl_setup.bash in my startup file
I check to make sure it actually ran the startup file:
$ echo $ITT_DIR
/Applications/itt_unix
$ echo $IDL_DIR
/Applications/itt_unix/idl70
Looks good... so now I try and run it, but get an error:
$ idlde
/Applications/itt_unix/idl70/bin/idlde: line 513: /Applications/
itt_unix/idl70/idlde/idlde.darwin.universal.app/Contents/Mac OS/idlde:
No such file or directory
/Applications/itt_unix/idl70/bin/idlde: line 513: exec: /Applications/
itt_unix/idl70/idlde/idlde.darwin.universal.app/Contents/Mac OS/idlde:
cannot execute: No such file or directory
It seems that the script idlde figures out what OS I've got on (and
after) line 99, and bases some internal paths on that.
# Determine the operating system, hardware architecture, and os
release
# Make sure these agree with IDL's compiled in paths or online help
# won't be found.
Perhaps I should I start modifying this file to try and make things
work, or is that heading too far astray?
Thanks again,
Christian
