Subject:	IDL 6.0 now default

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: http://vis.lbl.gov/NERSC/Software/idl/help/docs6.0/whatsnew.pdf For general information about IDL, please see: http://vis.lbl.gov/NERSC/Software/idl/ -- Best regards, David Turner User Services Group email: dpturner@lbl.gov NERSC Division phone: (510) 486-4027 Lawrence Berkeley Lab fax: (510) 486-4316
