So, I'm trying to install IDL for the first time on a Dell Inspiron 600m running Fedora Core 6. When I type: # idl or # /home/rsi/idl/bin/rsilicense I'm trying to run IDL or check my license number so that I can pay for my installation, but these both give the following error: /home/rsi/idl_6.3/bin/bin.linux.x86/rsilicense: error while loading shared libraries: libXp.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The same error is listed in the tech tips for users of a 64 bit linux system (see tech tip #3923) but I don't have a 64 bit linux system. I have tried and failed with the other fixes for IDL/Core conflicts, such as using the following rpm file: compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.126.i386.rpm Is there anyone else having this problem?

This sometimes happens when certain deprecated libraries IDL needs to run are not included with a Fedora Core installation. It's an easy fix: - Log in as root - Open a terminal window - Type "yum install libXp" at the command prompt Yum should go out and retrieve the necessary rpm, resolve any dependencies, and install everything for you. Once that's done, you should be able to start IDL.
