I am not using the extension .pro
to be compatible to unix systems you should write @header ;
because line end on windows is 10b13b.
If you don't use (space ; ) the unix looks at @header^M.

This is your problem. You are trying to compile the file
that has this in it. What you want to do with these two
commands is run them as if you were typing them at the
IDL command line. In other words, you want them in a batch
file.
I would put the !Path line in an IDL startup file. Then
you could include the @header file in any procedure and
it would work perfectly. (If you want it to run quickly,
put it at the start of the path and not at the end.)
Cheers,
David
