Linux Help Needed [message #47134]

Folks,

Partly so I could feel the pain in the Linux user, and
partly because I'm a masochist at heart, I decided to
download IDL on a Linux machine.

I spent the better part of an evening downloading the
latest Fedora Core 4 Linux OS and put it on an old Dell
laptop. I still don't have a mouse working, but the touch
pad is OK, and everything else seems to be in order, so
I downloaded the latest IDL from the RSI web page and
followed the installation instructions to the letter.
No problems there.

But when I go to run IDL I get a message about "error
loading shared library: libXp.so.6. No such file or directory".
It is looking for it in the /usr/local/rsi/idl_6.2/bin/bin.linux.86
directory, and, sure enough, it is not there.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong here?

Any idea how I might get a mouse working?

Thanks,

David
