IDL 7.1. 7.0; ENVI 4.7, 4.6; and EX 1.0 Platform and Feature Support

 

Platform Support for IDL 7.1, ENVI 4.7, and ENVI EX 1.0

 

Platform Vendor Hardware Operating
System
Supported Versions a
Windows Microsoft Intel/AMD x86 32bit and x86_64 64bit Windows XP SP2, Vista
Macintosh Apple PowerPC 32bit OS X 10.5.1
Intel 32- and 64bit
UNIX Sun SPARC 32- and 64bit Solaris b 10
Intel/AMD x86_64 64bit e
Various Intel/AMD x86 32bit Linux b,c Kernel version 2.6.9
glibc version 2.3.4
GTK version 2.4.13
Intel/AMD x86_64 64bit d

 

a Supported versions indicate that the software was either built on (the lowest version listed) or tested on that version. You can install and run software on other versions that are binary-compatible with those listed.

b The IDL Workbench (included with ENVI + IDL) requires the GTK library 2.4 or later. Printing from the Workbench requires GTK library version 2.10 or later. If GTK version 2.4 or later is not available, IDL will only run in console mode.

c The Linux version of IDL (included with ENVI + IDL) is built on Red Hat 4. If your version of Linux is compatible with the listed kernel and glibc versions, you should be able to install and run the software.

d On 64bit Linux systems, the IDL Workbench (included with ENVI + IDL) requires you to install your platform's 32bit compatibility libraries.

e The IDL Workbench and Online Help are not supported on Solaris x86 64bit machines. Documentation is available on the DVD for Solaris x86 platforms.

a For UNIX and Mac OS X, the supported versions indicate that IDL and ENVI were either built on (the lowest version listed) or tested on that version. You can install and run IDL and ENVI on other versions that are binary-compatible with those listed.

b The X11 Update version 1.1.2 (November 2006) is required.

c If your version of Linux is compatible with the listed kernel and glibc versions, you should be able to install and run IDL and ENVI.

d The IDL Workbench requires the GTK library version 2.4 or later. Printing functionality in the Workbench requires GTK library version 2.10 or later. If GTK version 2.4 or later is not available, IDL will only run in console mode.

e IDL may not install correctly on a pure 64bit Linux system. If installation fails, install your platform's 32bit compatibility libraries.

a Windows users: these functions only run in 32bit mode. If you have a 64bit PC and you want to use these functions, run ENVI, ENVI Zoom, or ENVI EX in 32bit mode from the Windows Start menu.

b Supported on ArcGIS Desktop 9.2 and later; tested on Windows XP 32bit and Vista 32bit operating systems with ArcGIS Desktop 9.3.

c Requires an ArcInfo or ArcEditor license (ArcView does not support this feature).

d Not supported on Mac OS X 10.4 platforms.

e To display NITF files in the File > Print dialog in ENVI Zoom and ENVI EX, NITF for ArcGIS must be installed.

Note: ENVI is not supported on the Sun Solaris x86 platform.
For Solaris SPARC systems please refer to individual ENVI/IDL support tables for details.
