I could never get the environment variables solution working.

If you don't need graphics on screen you should be able to run the command line 'idl' and not 'idlde'. It should fall apart when you try an 'xloadct' command.

Alternatively, what did work was starting IDL from within the folder I put the libX11.so.6 file. You need to download an older version of this file. The newest ones do not work.

Good luck.
