Greetings NERSC User,
IDL 6.0 was made the default version on seaborg and escher on Thursday,
February 19. To access it, type:
module load idl
On seaborg, there is a problem with the 64-bit version of the IDL
Development Environment (idlde). Certain older version of Linux (on
your desktop machine) will cause idlde to fail with a "segmentation
fault". There are two solutions to this problem. Either upgrade
your desktop Linux machine to the latest version possible, or use
the 32-bit version of idlde on seaborg:
idlde -32
The previous version (5.6) of IDL will remain available for a short
while; it can be accessed with:
module load idl/5.6
For information on new features in IDL 6.0, please see the following
PDF document:

For general information about IDL, please see:

Best regards,
