I think the gist of this whole problem is that X11 code was improved
and it is breaking various applications, IDL being one of them. I
think 6.4 for Linux was not immediately released because this all
happened a few days before its scheduled release. Anyway, you should
probably try the following (I ended up doing each of these steps):
First, in your environment, set MALLOC_CHECK_=0
...if that doesn't "fix it", then you probably need to downgrade x11:
rpm -e --nodeps libX11.i386
wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/upda tes/6/i386/libX11-1.0.3-6.fc6.i386.rpm
rpm -i libX11-1.0.3-6.fc6.i386.rpm
finally, in your environment, set LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
I'm using Fedora and anytime I upgrade through yum I immediately
downgrade X11 in order to be able to use IDL again. You should
probably search a bit more with the information I provided and see if
kubuntu users are doing something different - I only know that this
"fixes" my Fedora systems.
Ciao,
-Kevin
