Linux Segmentation Fault

[reseadmin]

On some Linux variations, IDL crashes on startup with 'Segmentation fault', this can be due to open GL drivers.

to fix this:

Go to the following directory in the idl vm:
cd  ..../ReSe_Software_Linux/idl89/bin/bin.linux.x86_64/

If you got a local installation of e.g. Idl 9.1 got to :

cd /usr/local/nv5/idl91/bin/bin.linux.x86_64/

and rename the file "gl_driver.so"    to    "gl_driver.bak"

this should solve this issue (if using a different idl installation, do the same..)
