Hi,
I have recently discovered idlwave, and I would like to use it
efficiently. One of the advantages would be to use the completion and
the integrated help system, but I can't make it work. When idlwave is
loaded, I have the following lines in the messages:
Emacs IDLWAVE mode version 6.1_em22.
Loading system routine info in idle time...
Failed to convert XML routine info, falling back on idlw-rinfo.
Could not locate any system routine information.
Loading system routine info in idle time...done
Normalizing idlwave-system-routines in idle time...done
Loading and normalizing library catalogs in idle time...done
I seem like idlwave cannot find any routines, and then the completion
doesn't work. Can anybody help me?
Thanks a lot in advance,
-- Arthur;

IDLWAVE looks for system routine info inside the system-directory (/
usr/local/itt/idl/ or something similar). It finds this information
in one of three ways: 1) from the shell (if it's running, grabbing the
value of !DIR), 2) from a path it got from the shell at an earlier
time and saved (usually in ~/.idlwave/idlpath.el), or 3) from the
IDL_DIR system directory. If none of these are available (which would
be unusual), IDLWAVE doesn't know where to look for your idl
distribution. You can explicitly set 'idlwave-shell-system-
directory', or set the IDL_DIR environment variable, or just run the
IDLWAVE shell once.
