IDL 6.2 under Debian sarge amd64

[Mauricio Ortiz Calvao <orca@if.ufrj.br>]

Hi

I am having problems to make IDL work smoothly under a two-CPU Opteron 
running Debian sarge AMD64, both as regards making the license manager 
work for my node-locked license (I can only run it in demo mode) and the 
graphical interface (idlde) which pours messages such as

Internal error: attempt to pop too many output funct
% X windows protocol error: BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operat
% X windows protocol error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window param
% X windows protocol error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window param
% X windows protocol error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window param

and also, when I try to access the Help button:

/usr/local/rsi/idl_6.2/bin/bin.linux.x86_64/idl_assistant: error while.1: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory


Does anyone have some specific instructions or suggestions to correct 
these???

Thanks!
