Stefano,
EXTPROC_DEFINE will only work under Windows and only with
IDL 5.3 or higher (it is built on top of IDL_SysRtnGetCurrentName()
which first showed up in 5.3). I never got around to supporting
anything but Wintel. BTW, CALL_EXTERNAL worked fine with 5.2 under
Windows for me. Realize that CALL_EXTERNAL and EXTPROC_DEFINE are
very different beasts. More details would be needed to help...
FWIW.

Tell us a little more. What platform are you running on, what compiler,
etc.?
I certainly have used IDL 5.2 with CALL_EXTERNAL with no problems.
