Hi Victor, IDL 7.0.x Workbench was a 32bit application. So there is the possibility that your 64bit Ubuntu does not have what is called the 32bit compatibility libraries installed. Could that be the case? You will need then to get that 32bit compatibility package for Ubuntu. Cheers, Fernando

Hi Fernando, I've installed the libraries ia32 and I 've solved the problem but now when I try to run idlde I obtain this message: JVM terminated.

Hi Victor, Could the following Help Article is what you need?: http://www.exelisvis.com/Support/Help... I'm not sure if this is what you meant from your previous message. Cheers, Fernando

Hi fernando, I've tried to follow the instructions of the link and I've tested a lot of paths for java in the file idlde.linux.x86.ini. I can't run the environment... i am not an expert about java so I don't know if I use the correct binaries files... victor

Hi Victor, How do you run IDL?. The best is to do the following from the linux prompt: . /usr/local/exelis/idl82/bin/idl_setup.bash if you are using bash shell. Notice that I'm using the source operator "." and then a space and /usr/... Then, try typing: idlde Does it work? Another option would be for you to upgrade to the latest version of IDL. Cheers, Fernando

Hi Fernando, thanks for your advice...but I've tried to do this and I have the same error as before... JVM terminated.

Hi Victor, Do you have the possibility of upgrading IDL to the latest version? This will be IDL 8.2.3. If you do, remember that you can keep the old version as well, both can be running in parallel in a way. I don't remember if I told you already, but, have you tried deleting the hidden folder called: .idl or you can rename it to _idl. Then, try running it again. Cheers, Fernando

Hi Fernando My institution recently (finally) bought IDL, we have the 8.2 version, on the IDL webpage says I should start it by typing idlde, however I get the following error message /usr/local/exelis/idl82/bin/idlde: 463: exec: /usr/local/exelis/idl82/idlde/idlde.linux.x86: not found I read through this thread but I found no way to solve it Regards Luis

Hi Luis, Have you tried this?: . /usr/local/exelis/idl82/bin/idl_setup.bash if you are using bash shell. Notice that I'm using the source operator "." and then a space and then "/usr/..." Then, try typing: idlde Are you running in a 64bit or 32bit operating system? Cheers, Fernando
