If it is n-bit or scale-offset, then it is available in 1.8.* only and not in 1.6.*. My understanding is that IDL 7.1 still uses 1.6.7. Have you contacted IDL and asked them to support 1.8.*? The binaries you used from our Web site are part of the pilot project to see how much work it will be for us and ITTVis to address IDL being "behind" and using old buggy versions of HDF5, and to help them to move to 1.8.*. It was not intended to replace official IDL distribution. Wouldn't your users need new licenses if they move from Linux to Mac? (plus IDL with 1.8.*).
