Hi All,
I am a new idlwave user, and having just got out syspeople to upgrade
idlwave to the current version 5.6 I am keen to make the most of it. It
all seems to work, except when I open the idlwave shell anew in an
emacs window with C-c C-s, the first time I always get this error:
Symbol's value as variable is void: idlwave-sys-dir
while on the second C-c C-s the shell does open.
I believe this error is caused by the fact that we were unable to
upgrade idlw-shell.el, so this was removed from LISPFILE list in the
idlwave-5.6/Makefile and the rest was upgraded. The error that occurred
while running gmake on the original Makefile was:
jobrien@magpie idlwave-5.6/> gmake
emacs -batch -no-init-file -l lpath.el -f batch-byte-compile idlwave.el
idlw-help.el idlw-rinfo.el idlw-shell.el idlw-toolbar.el
idlw-complete-structtag.el idlw-roprompt.el

Done
gmake: *** [lisp] Error 1
Looking through our emacs distribution we saw that we have a file
func-menu.el which is more than 10 years old. Is this the cause of the
problem? If so where can we get an upgrade from. And is it likely to
effect any other emacs modes, or is it for idlwave only?
We still have a lot of idlde users here, who I think dont know what
they're missing with idlwave. But it would be good if I can fix this
error first.
Thanks for your help,
Jess
