There is a little misunderstanding about the name 'idl' ;-)
Emacs is looking for the file idl.el and not for the binaries
if idl itself. To run idl under emacs you need both idl-shell.el
and idl.el ! (and of course a proper setup of PATH-variables for
the idl binaries)
BTW: Install it anyway , it's worth it ! I never start IDL without
Emacs !-)
Servus, Helge
