This is a problem with the development environment - IDL itself seems
to be working fine.
I've got IDL 7.0 installed on Mac OSX 10.7.3 (this was a bit of a
hack, because the installer is a PowerPC app, and 10.7 doesn't have
Rosetta - in the end I just copied the entire folder from a
colleague's computer). Things have been working fine for a long
time. I recently took a break from coding to try and actually publish
some results, but now when I go back to IDL the development
environment crashes every single time I do something which generates a
pull-down menu (I *think* this is the common element). Certainly it
crashes if I click on the menubar, or right-click on a file/folder in
the project explorer - but otherwise IDL seems to be working fine
(including the little icon shortcuts below the menubar). I can
somewhat get work done because it's still possible to do many things
with keyboard shortcuts, but I can't update/commit from/to my svn
repositories which is certainly a big problem.
I suspect that at some point a java (?) update broke the eclipse hack
itt put together, but in that case I'm surprised that I haven't been
able to google any cases of other people with the same problem. Since
I wasn't actively coding as the time it's difficult to pin down what
broke it or even when - all I know is that in early January (?) it
worked and as of last week it doesn't.
Has anybody else had a similar problem?
I normally run it via a link to the "IDLSnapFileOpen" app in the main
directory, but the error message I get when the same problem after
running IDLDE from the command line is:
$ pwd
/Applications/itt/idl70/bin
$ ./idlde
Invalid memory access of location 0x0 eip=0x0
Bus error: 10
The "send your report to Apple" error log is 1179 lines long, so I
hesitate to post the entire message. The lines near the top I
(arbitrarily?) identified as important and have been googling for (and
hopefully brings some other people with a similar problem to this
page) are:

Perhaps it is a red-herring, but I have attempted to learn more by
installing the non-itt version of eclipse (3.7.2)... this works,
although if I try the instructions here:
http://www.idlcoyote.com/workbench/addtoeclipse.html
For adding the IDLDE to this installation I can't get the hybrid to
work. On startup I get a "fatal error initializing DML" popup box,
followed by "fatal error initializing main IDL process" and the error:
Failed to load idl_jdml from /Applications/itt/idl70/idlde/
bin.darwin.i386 (it is set by the property JDMLDir.)
(although there is a file named "libidl_jdml.jnilib" there - perhaps
the naming convention changed between versions of eclipse?)
Incidentally, this is the same result that I get if I run the itt
idlde from the "wrong" directory:
$ pwd
/Applications/itt/idl70/idlde/idlde.darwin.universal.app/Con tents/
MacOS
$ ./idlde
Failed to load idl_jdml from /Applications/itt/idl70/idlde/
bin.darwin.i386 (Use default IDL)
So perhaps I should be running my hacked version of eclipse from a
different spot? Currently my script to setup things runs from the
first eclipse directory.
