IDL not recognizing procedure in expanded path

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I have a problem on my hands I haven't been able to find a solution for. Here are the basics:

I'm creating a centralized library for my research group of IDL procedures and routines that we can call to avoid re-inventing the wheel and not have to include the @procedure_path statements at the beginning of out programs. 

I was able to get IDL to recognize the path to all of the routines in the centralized library by following David Fanning's page (http://www.idlcoyote.com/code_tips/installcoyote.php). When I use IDL's PrintPath function, it returns the correct path to the directory:

IDL> PrintPath
...
/cloud/code_ro/lib/idl/io_lib/gps_io
...

The full file path is then: /cloud/code_ro/lib/idl/io_lib/gps_io/get_ncdf_atmPrf_ucar_cosmic2013.pro

IDL> 

I have a program I wrote just to test why these particular routines won't automatically compile and run inside the main program as well by giving it a file path and then calling the routine, which amounts to:

file_name = foo (this is super long with the whole path)
get_ncdf_atmPrf_ucar_cosmic2013, foo, ...
END

The result I get when I run this is: 

IDL> .run test.pro
% Compiled module: $MAIN$.
% Attempt to call undefined procedure: 'GET_NCDF_ATMPRF_UCAR_COSMIC2013'.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$              4 /home/knelson12/test.pro
IDL> 

However, I can run the following, and it recognizes the routine just fine:

IDL> .compile get_ncdf_atmPrf_ucar_cosmic2013
% Compiled module: GET_NCDF_ATMPRF_UCAR_COSMIC2013.
IDL> 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thank you in advance.

- Kevin
