Solarsoft and idlwave? [message #60550] Thu, 22 May 2008 21:35

Hey all,

Just discovering all that is wonderful about idlwave, but running into
a problem.

My current machine is runs bash.

My group uses Solarsoft, which has init scripts for IDL that are all
written in csh.

If I'm sitting on the (Unix) command line, I do something like:

csh ssw_startup

Which calls the scripts just fine and I get a SSW> prompt in IDL.

However, if I feed a script into idlwave as my startup file (e.g.:

(setq idlwave-shell-explicit-file-name "~/shortcuts/ssw_workaround")

where ssw_workaround is just a script file that just does this:

csh ssw_startup


Then when I start the IDL shell in Emacs/IDLWAVE I get this:


Process idl exited abnormally with code 1


And my IDL process is toast.


Any ideas about this? I think it all has to do with the fact that the
environmental variables in my csh init scripts aren't persisting...but
I haven't been able to come up with a good workaround.

Cheers,

Brian
