	This looks like the IDL compiler is linked against the math
library, and yet uses no symbols from it - and this causes your system
to barf. If so that's unbelievably broken.

	Thus I think in actual fact you've somehow not got the
interface_repository.idl on your system - or it got truncated somehow.
Can you verify that this file contains valid contents, and that you can
run the IDL compiler correctly on some other file.

	Regards,

		Michael.
