Hello, I have recently configured a VMware virtual machine with Fedora
Core 9. I installed IDL and ENVI without any errors. I can start IDL
and contact the license server. When I try to do anything graphical, I
get a segmentation fault. This includes launching ENVI. I can launch
idlde and start the IDL workbench. Typing tv, dist(200) gets me a
Fatal error.
I am not sure if my problem relates to Fedora Core 9, or the fact that
I am running under a virtual machine. The only tech tips on ittvis.com
that come up are old and relate to FC 6. Does anyone have ENVI running
successfully under either or both of these?

I am running IDL 7/ENVI 4.5. Even the simple stuff crashes IDL. I
installed libstdc++.so.5 (and various other libraries mentioned in
tech tips) with no improvement.
I have solved the problem for now by creating a new VM with Fedora
Core 6 running. Envi works just fine and I have no need for a newer
version of Fedora. I simply started with FC9 since it was the latest.
FC6 has always been stable for me.
Anyway, at least I now know it was not a problem with VMware. Thanks
for your help all.

Which version of IDL?
There is a known seg. fault problem with IDL6.* and linux.
Assuming, this is the problem, you should be able to do a simple plot
to screen like
x = findgen(100) / 10.
plot, x, sin(x)
But if you get *tricky* and try
xloadct
The sky falls down.
Is this the situation?
