Folks,
Is anyone experiencing problems with FINDFILE in IDL 8
on LINUX (Ubuntu)?
Every time I try to use it I am getting an "Error managing
child process" error, and it seems to be trying to open
very strange files:
IDL> a = findfile('addpath.pro')
IDL> %FINDFILE: Error opening file.
File: /home/david/temp/idl_tmp_9nunrQ
IDL> %FINDFILE: Error managing child process
Any ideas?
Cheers,
David

I don't get the traceback.
Hmm, isn't findfile deprecated?
findfile has some limitations if you have lots of files in a directory.
file_search() and file_which() may be the better choice
