Hi folks!
I've installed IDL 5.6 under linux (ubuntu feisty). It seems work
fine, but the shortcuts don't go and a simple script that I've write
under windows don't run, so I tried with a single line with a
read_tiff but Idl says "error".....what's the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Hm, home/kit/32G.tif gets translated to /home/home/32G.tif as the leading
/ in the filename is missing. Please check the output of the shell command
$ file home/kit/32G.tif
It should report a tiff file with the right properties.
Else try ~/kit/32G.tif as file name. And /home/kit/32G.tif should work
as well.
Not to forget that Unix file names are case sensitive while Windows would
accept 32G.tif for 32g.tif.

I have a 2 button mouse with a scroll wheel in between them (Dell). I
left click, drag and highlight what I want to copy and then click both
buttons together to paste.
As Paolo pointed out, you might wanna check about the correct way of
specifying path in *nix. Without the forward slash before, it will be
interpreted as "another" home directory within your home.
Have fun,

Well, I suspect that this has more to do with the configuration of the
shell than with IDL. The easiest way to copy & paste in Linux is selecting
some text and using the middle mouse button for copying.

First thing to check is if the file exist, using FILE_TEST.
If it does not find the file you may want to try '/home/...' instead.

Ciao,
Paolo
