Ben, Apologies for the delayed response. We have been at AMS. I am not sure what is wrong. Let's try a few things. Move your ~/.unidata directory out of the way (mv ~/.unidata ~/unidata.bak), restart your IDV, and load the zidv bundle. Does that help? If that does not help, please upload your zidv bundle here http://motherlode.ucar.edu/repository/alias/idvupload. Let us know when it is there, and we will take a look. What did this zidv bundle do?
