QUESTION: Hi, we have currently an old version of IDL installed on our unix server (IDL Version 8.0.1 (linux x86_64 m64)). Now I need to open netCDF5 files. I would like to use something like:) h5_list, file data = h5_getdata(file, ...) These seem to be introduced in version 8.3. Can I use IDL 8.3? IDL 8.4 doesn't work with my kernel (getting ELF class issues). Our kernel is pretty old too ( Linux icy 2.6.18-404.el5 #1 SMP Tue Apr 7 12:42:54 EDT 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux ). Thanks,

ANSWER: Hi, minimum Linux kernel version needed to support IDL 8.3 is Kernel 2.6.32 (and glibc 2.12). The newest version of IDL that will work on Linux with kernel version 2.6.18-404.el5 is IDL 8.2.3. I'm sorry I don't have better news. Kind regards,
