Hello all,
I am missing plot.pro in my idl libraries. but when I enter IDL through Terminal, it says,
NOTE FOR RedHat Enterprise USERS: Some functionality in this IDL release requires the libstdc++
compatiblity libraries to be installed. To check if the libraries
are already installed, execute 'rpm -qa | grep compat', and look for
"compat-libstdc++-<version_number>". If this is not listed, install
the appropriate RPM for your distribution (from your install CD's).
Could it be because of this ? I am new to linux and programming itself. Can you please help me with that ?

No, it sounds like your IDL path is messed up. Try doing "print,!path" in IDL, and see if it includes the default IDL lib directory. If it doesn't, then see if you have IDL_PATH defined as an environment variable or something.

I manually went itnto the idl lib to check the plot.pro but its not there. Can you please help me to find what the problem is ?

Um, it looks like you are using IDL 6.1, which is incredibly old. You need to upgrade to a newer version of IDL, like 8.4.
Cheers,
Chris

But not if you're trying to use the plot function. :-)

Thanks for your info. so I can never use plot.pro without upgrading the version.

Hello David,
I can understand it, yes my experience is not enough. But I want to know whether the IDL that has been installed in my system is properly or not. IDL version 6.1 doesnt contain the function and from your information it seems that its only available in version 8.
My exact problem is Directory path issues where I cannot load the data from directories into IDL and IDL says its not loaded.
