Hi, folks - anyone else out there running IDL5.6 on a MAC under OS 10.2?
If so, would you try the following:
Fire up idlde or idl from an xterm window (I'm using Apple's X11)
IDL> demo
I then get:
IDL> demo
% Embedded IDL: Research Systems, Inc., IDL Demo.
% Attempt to call undefined procedure/function: 'READ_PNG'.
% Error occurred at: DEMOPREADSCREEN
% DEMO
% $MAIN$
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
IDL>
When I tried to track down read_png.pro, I find it in the lib/obsolete
directory. OK, so I try compiling that and rerunning demo:
IDL> demo
% Embedded IDL: Research Systems, Inc., IDL Demo.
% Attempt to call undefined procedure/function: 'READ_PNG'.
% Error occurred at: DEMOPREADSCREEN
% DEMO
% $MAIN$
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
IDL>
No difference.
So, what am I doing wrong? I am using the default path setup.
I would have thought that compiling read_png.pro would make it available to
Demo, but apparently not. The lib/obsolete directory is in my !PATH.
It seems strange that the demo program would call an obsolete routine.
This does not fail under 5.6 on Solaris.
Any advice here? Thanks!
