Hi Jorge, I can see from a previous support inquiry that you have already run IDV 5.3 from a 64-bit Linux system. What has changed? The first thing I would try is to delete or move your .unidata directory out of the way. For example: mv /home/conrado/.unidata /home/conrado/.unidata.bak Now try to run the IDV. What is the result?
