The easy question first:
Is the file called
createSpecProFiles.pro
or
createspecprofiles.pro
?
For the IDL automatic-location-of-files-in-the-path to work, the
filename should be all lowercase (on linux at least... dunno if you have
a windows machine).
E.g.:
$ cat > aTest.pro
pro aTest
print, "hello world"
end
^D
$ idl
IDL Version 8.2 (linux x86 m32). (c) 2012, Exelis Visual Information
Solutions, Inc.
IDL> aTest
% Attempt to call undefined procedure/function: 'ATEST'.
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$
IDL> .compile aTest
% Compiled module: ATEST.
IDL> aTest
hello world
IDL> exit
$ mv aTest.pro atest.pro
$ idl
IDL Version 8.2 (linux x86 m32). (c) 2012, Exelis Visual Information
Solutions, Inc.
IDL> aTest
% Compiled module: ATEST.
hello world
cheers,

Has the file been saved in all lowercase characters?
