Well, either the "other routines" aren't on your path,
or you don't have the "other routines" you need to run
that program.
You can get all the programs you need by downloading
this one zip file:
http://www.dfanning.com/programs/mpi_plot.zip
But I think it more likely that the directory that holds
your programs is not on your path. Try File->Preferences->Path
from the IDLDE and make sure the directory containing the
Coyote files is listed there.
Cheers,
David
