Charudatta,
I doubt the error has anything to do with VELOVECT and more to do with
general paths.
If your IDL_DIR environment variable (outside IDL) is incorrect then
this error could occur. Also, if the !DIR system variable (inside IDL)
is incorrect then this could also occur.
I'd suspect the latter, do you have any IDL code which changes !DIR?
e.g.
IDL> !dir='/invalid/path'
IDL> plot,findgen(10)
% PLOT: Error opening file.
File: /invalid/path/resource/fonts/hersh1.chr
No such file or directory
Note that a program you've not written could also be changing !DIR.
Thanks,
Allan
