I had a similar issue. After upgrading to Yosemite, I could not load IDL from the command line.

The error read:
dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/X11/lib/libXp.6.dylib
Referenced from: /Applications/exelis/idl82/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64/libidl.8.2. dylib
Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap: 5

After noticing I did not have an X11 directory in the /usr/ directory, I soft linked it from /opt/X11/:

sudo mkdir /usr/X11/
password: ******
sudo ln -s /opt/X11/* /usr/X11/

This solved my issue.
