Hello,

I am wondering if anybody encounter similar problem.
Simple TV function in IDL 6.3 caused segmentation fault, core dumped
on my new fedora core 13 but works fine in fedora core 2.
I have tried creating a LD_PRELOAD_PATH to libX11 version that I know
works w/o error.

I think it is unfair to spend $2500 for IDL 8.0 which apparently TV
function works fine.

thanks for your input.

I could never get the LD_PRELOAD_PATH solution working.

A dodgy solution I found was to copy the (old trustworthy) libX11
files to some folder and then start idl at the command line from
within that folder.

Cheers.

Thanks so much. I quickly followed your suggestion and as far as I can
tell it works.
More testing tomorrow when I get to my office.
