Thanks for all the answers. I took a few hours to see what was going on...

It seems I finally got the point. This seems to be a case sensitive
trick. Let's see, if I can explain (and maybe someone can confirm this -
notice I'm working in Linux )

If you have already add "your" working directory do idl path has I did
try do save this code as testing_routine.pro

PRO testing_routine
print, 'testing for running without explicit compilation '
END

IDL> testing_routine
% Compiled module: TESTING_ROUTINE.
testing for running without explicit compilation

and then try to save this other code as Testing_Routine.pro
(it is needed to reset_session before trying to call this other routine)

PRO Testing_Routine
print, 'testing for running without explicit compilation '
END

IDL> Testing_Routine
% Attempt to call undefined procedure/function: 'TESTING_ROUTINE'.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

and for this last case you will see that idl is attempt to call.

Quite funny, ins't it? Can someone please confirm this? :)

Note
IDL is case-insensitive. However, for some operating systems, IDL only
checks for the lowercase filename based on the name of the procedure or
function. We recommend that all filenames be named with lowercase.

The linux system might be in the category of "some operating systems".
