That shouldn't happen - where did you get this xpm library?  You
should install the official version for RedHat 6.2 (that should be
xpm-3.4k-2; get it either from the installation CD or some mirror
site), eventually run ldconfig (and remove the version you put into
the IDL dir).

Then it should find the correct lib version himself...
