I can confirm that IDL 8.2 fails to run in Yosemite with the following error message:
nerdzoo:/usr/local/exelis/idl82/bin$ idl
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib
Referenced from: /usr/local/exelis/idl82/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64/libidl.8.2.dyl ib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5
idlde also does not run, but prints out a longer report that can be sent to Apple.
IDL 8.3 and 8.4 are ok. With 8.4 on Yosemite, however, firing up idlde the first time complained about need to install "legacy Java SE 6 runtime." You're directed to Apple's download site. After installation, idlde works okay.
