The famous dfanning is replying to me! O.O
I've been using your libraries for quite a while... and the q&a from your site! :) Thanks a million for all the help you've provided over the years!
Unfortunately, my current predicament must be somewhat deeper.
I have that lib folder: /usr/local/exelis/idl82/lib, and it has the congrid.pro file in there, as well as many others.
But the first line you asked me to run gave this on a freshly started IDL session:
IDL> data = dist(200)
% Variable is undefined: DIST.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
hmmm... dist.pro is also in that lib folder.... hmmm....
Could it be because I have the actual installation in a different partition and the /usr/local/exelis is a link to /mnt/data/utils/idl/exelis?
The installer created that link automatically, so I'd guess that it should work fine.
hmmmm
Well, you were right!!
The IDL_PATH environment variable didn't have the path to the library in it. I forced it in my .bashrc.... Shouldn't this be done somewhere else? I'll look into it!
Thanks again!! :)
