Unfortunately, 32-bit installers for Linux based operating systems have not been supported since IDL 8.2. To request a previous installer link, please send an email to support@exelisvis.com. Below is a link to a help article for Platform and feature support that may come in handy.

You may also run into licensing issues if you are attempting to run a Linux based version of IDL off of a Windows based license.dat file.
Due to platform locks in the license itself, running any VM on a machine is viewed as a different machine and OS. A Windows license will only run IDL on the Windows side.
Hope this helps. Thank you
