Hello,
I have installed seadas6.3 on a MAC OS X Lion. Initially, IDL80 didn't work but the tech support in Exelis have shown me a workaround. However, seadas gives the following error. Any idea how to resolve this? Many thanks!

Hello again,
apologies - as i just read and realized that seadas6.3 doesn't support the most recent MAC OS X. has anyone found a workaround yet? care to share?
let me know as well if you have trouble running idl80 on Lion as i can send the workaround bits.
Thanks!
Tess

IDL Version 8.0, Mac OS X (darwin x86_64 m64). (c) 2010, ITT Visual Information Solutions says you are running IDL in 64-bit mode, probably the default in Lion. This would explain the message "/Applications/seadas6.3/build/lib/IDLshare.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture".
SeaDAS is 32-bit only on Mac OS X, so the first thing to try is to force IDL to run in 32-bit mode. I had much the same problem on SGI IRIX64 years ago -- the IDL startup script could be edited to make 32-bit mode the default.
Hi WhiteG,
Pardon my ignorance, but I'm not sure i know i how to do this.
I tried editing the idl_setup.bash to include the -32 flag, then add it to/and execute my .bashrc but to no avail. Is there a chance you could help me on this one further?
Many thanks!

I only have IDL 7.06, so things may have changed, but you can try editing /Applications/itt/idl706/bin/idl (or wherever you have idl installed) to change PREFER_32=0 to PREFER_32=1. If you can't do this (e.g., other users want 64-bit to be the default) then you can make a personal "wrapper" in some directory in the PATH that you control and that comes before the real IDL, e.g.:
#! /bin/bash
# wrapper to add "-32" to the idl command
exec /Applications/itt/idl706/bin/idl -32 "$@"
(you need to make this executable and adjust the idl path to suit). You might want to consult some introductory shell programming manuals or a linux user familiar with "bash" scripts to understand this example).
Thanks much for your help WhiteG! I just edited idl and it worked.
