    I installed IDL 7.0 on a 64-bit machine running Red Hat Enterprise Workstation 5. There were no apparent problems during installation. When I try to run IDL, I get the following error message: "/usr/local/itt/idl70/bin/bin.linux.x86_64/idl: error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". This is apparently due to missing 32-bit compatible libraries. Has anyone been able to run IDL on a 64-bit Linux machine? If so, which rpm packages need to be installed? Joe Barrett, ENSCO, Inc.

    The error indicates you need the 64-bit libXp.so.6.  It is not uncommon for 64-bit linux systems to have minimal libraraies installed.  You should try the yum command as described in this tech tip: http://www.ittvis.com/ser...echtip.asp?ttid=3923

    On Ubuntu 11.04, you should do "apt-get libxp6" to fix this problem.
