The instruction of the previous post to define "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D(the
path of the two files)" means to replace "3D(the path of the two files)" by the
full name of the folder which contains the libraries.
Normally, they should reside in default directories (/usr/lib or /usr/local/lib)
which makes the definition of LD_LIBRARY_PATH unnecessary since these paths are
searched by the run-time linker anyway.

If you put them elsewhere try the following from the command line, assuming
"/usr/local/idl/lib" contains the two shared libraries

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/idl/lib; idlde

If this works change the export command in .bashrc accordingly and save .bashrc.
Then open a new terminal, and type "idlde" again.
