Weird, i just had someone come to me with similar problems
(programs not being found, xloadct not being found, and
idlde core dumping, and default white-on-white colors lol).
I suspect a somewhat "incomplete" installation of 5.6. on irix
I changed idl_version back to 5.4. Unfortunately I will not be
able to look into it until next week :(
sorry for the nohelp solution.
Cheers,
bob
