For a long time I've felt that IDL gives a very confusing error message here. One sees the function compiled successfully, and then an immediate error message of "undefined procedure/function". I realize that one can have two distinct modules with the same name -- one a procedure and one a function. But it would be nice if the compilation message could say whether a procedure or function was compiled, e.g.

% Compiled function: PSF_GAUSSIAN.

and if the error message said whether it was a procedure or function call, e.g.

> % Attempt to call undefined procedure: 'PSF_GAUSSIAN'.
