Hi guys,

I've just installed IDL, and coyote library on a mac, and i get this error

IDL> ps_start
% Keyword CMYK not allowed in call to: FSC_PSCONFIG::INIT
% Error occurred at: PSCONFIG 313 /usr/local/ssw/gen/idl_libs/astron/coyote/psconfig.pro
% PS_START 283 /usr/local/ssw/gen/idl_libs/astron/coyote/ps_start.pro
% $MAIN$
% Execution halted at: PS_START 283 /usr/local/ssw/gen/idl_libs/astron/coyote/ps_start.pro

The installation on the /astron dir is not the default but a fresh coyote library.
On my linux distro i never had such a prolbem.
What might be the problem?

Thanks,
Petros

An IDL path problem in which an older version of FSC_PSCONFIG is getting
called, rather than the one you want. :-)

You are going to have to put the Coyote Library ahead of those (very)
old *other* Coyote Library routines to ever have a chance of getting
things to work. Here is how I solve these kinds of problems:

Only two!? A small miracle. ;-)
