Hello,
Paul has been right. IDL 5.5 seems to be unsupported on red hat 9.0. I
emailed RSI. They tried to read image using 5.5 with RH 9.0, and they
too got the segfault. They say that officially IDL is not supported on
RH 9.0 until the version 6, but the version 5.6 works perfectly on RH
9.0. So I have upgraded IDL to 5.6 and it has been working great!
So folks, add another woe to you RH 9.0 'woe-list': 'IDL 5.5 and RH
9.0 do not go hand in hand!'.
Thanks to all those who replied!
Gauri.
