I have checked the 'config.log' before, but as far as I can see it does
not help. Here are the last lines of it:
______________________________________________________
configure:4278: checking for gmsgfmt
configure:4314: checking for xgettext
configure:4354: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -Wunused  
-I/usr/lib/glib/include
configure:4630: checking for catalogs to be installed
configure:4741: checking ORBit version
configure:4750: checking for libIDL >= 0.6.8
_______________________________________________________
No error message or something else :-(
The last lines of the stdout are these:

________________________________________________________
checking for gmsgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
checking for xgettext... /usr/bin/xgettext
checking for catalogs to be installed...  az ca da de el en_GB es fi fr
ga gl hu it ja ko lt nl no pl pt_BR ro ru sk sl sv uk wa tr zh_CN.GB2312
checking ORBit version... 0.5.6
checking for libIDL >= 0.6.8... configure: error: not found

_________________________________________________________

So again my question: Why can't libIDL 0.6.8 be found if
/usr/bin/libIDL-config --version' gives the result
'0.6.8'
???
