Trying out OMINAS installation on recent Mac OS systems (El Capitan and Sierra), a few issues were found. These are IDL installation issues, not OMINAS specific, so it may not be in the scope of the OMINAS installer to deal with them.
From a fresh OS X install, there are a few additional steps required to get IDL properly working:
Install XQuartz. IDL needs an X server, and XQuartz is the standard one for recent Mac OS versions.
One solution is to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, to include
/opt/X11/lib/flat_namespace
The difficulty with that is in some systems System Integrity Protection prevents DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set from a regular shell:
With today's update, creating the ominas/ominasde scripts which set up the environment and start an idl/idlde session, that provided a clean way to handle the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH setting when ominas is used. With the current version, the user would start IDL by calling either ominas or ominasde, instead of calling idl or idlde. So, though that is an IDL installation issue, it is now handled by the OMINAS startup.

The difficulty with that is in some systems System Integrity Protection prevents DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to be set from a regular shell:
See, for instance, oracle/node-oracledb#231
One solution for that is to set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH inside the script that launched IDL, as suggested by Harris (http://www.harrisgeospatial.com/Support/HelpArticlesDetail/TabId/219/ArtMID/900/ArticleID/14944/XQuartz-2710-is-Not-Compatible-with-ENVI-531-and-IDL-851.aspx). The script normally resides in the bin/idl directory of IDL's installation path (such as /usr/local/exelis/idl/bin/idl). Editing this file normally requires super-user (root) privileges. If that is not an option, one can copy that file into a user's directory, edit that copy, and then use that instead of the system copy, such as
