Does anyone have any suggestions on how to control IDL/PV-Wave's search
order for the libraries? In our IDL hierarchy, there is the USERLIB set
of routines, and also a LOCAL set. I a couple cases, I've slightly altered
a USERLIB routine (like ERRPLOT, I added a color keyword) and placed it
in the adjacent LOCAL directory
/usr/local/idl/lib:
demo/ local/ statlib/ userlib/ widgets/ xdemo/
Of course I use IDL_PATH with +/usr/local/idl/lib to include the whole thing.
How can I get IDL to check local before userlib? If I copy the routine to
my personal directory, which is in IDL_PATH first, then I get the one I
want. Otherwise, it's a crap shoot. I'd rather not rename the routine,
since I want other users to transparently reap the benefits of my
brilliance ;-).
