    IDL 8.0 was working fine before I updated my machine to Mac OSX 10.7.3 from 10.7.2. Now, when I try to open IDL, I get a full crash report. I can open ENVI+IDL, but IDL is open only in an X11 pane. My guess is there is a problem with the Workbench. Has anyone seen this problem before?

    Could you please follow the procedure below and see if that helps with your problem: 1) If you are running any instances of IDL, please shut them down. 2) Open a terminal window and navigate to the /bin/bin.darwin.x86_64 directory. For example, if you are using IDL 8.1 installed in the Applications directory, type the following command: cd /Applications/itt/idl/idl81/bin/bin.darwin.x86_64 3) Rename the following three files: libcurl.4.0.1.dylib, libcurl.4.dylib and libcurl.dylib. For example, mv libcurl.4.0.1.dylib libcurl.4.0.1.dylib.bak mv libcurl.4.dylib libcurl.4.dylib.bak mv libcurl.dylib libcurl.dylib.bak If your login does not have adequate permissions to make these changes, you may need to issue the commands with "sudo" privileges. For example: sudo mv ./libcurl.4.0.1.dylib libcurl.4.0.1.dylib.bak sudo mv ./libcurl.4.dylib libcurl.4.dylib.bak sudo mv ./libcurl.dylib libcurl.dylib.bak 4) Restart IDL. If it still fails to launch, try restarting your system.
