Running IDL 7.0 on our unix server, and I recently found that calls to write_gif.pro are failing, throwing the following message:


% Compiled module: WRITE_GIF.
% Attempt to call undefined procedure/function: 'ENCODE_GIF'.
% Error occurred at: WRITE_GIF 302


I had used write_gif for years to generate movies, prior to a couple of months ago, and now this encode_gif procedure seems to be missing. Has anyone encountered this problem, or can anyone provide me with the encode_gif.pro source?

ENCODE_GIF is an internal DLM routine and should be in the idl_gif.so file in your idl*/bin/bin.* folder. Have you lost some files from your distribution?

Does HELP, /DLM show an entry for GIF? Has your !DLM_PATH been modified in a way that makes it unable to find the installed DLMs?
