Do you have a /usr/lib/libXtst.so.6 as well?  If not, I'm guessing
that is what it is looking for if you are using the 32 bit Java that
ships with the IDV.

We don't have any x86_64 systems here to test with, unfortunately.
You could try installing a 64-bit java (1.5) and java3D (1.5.2) available 
from:

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp
https://java3d.dev.java.net/binary-builds.html

and modify the runIDV script to use that.  If you need help, let
me know.
