You've confused the purpose of library-path, which, on less capable
systems, locates the IDL libraries shipped by RSINC. Under unix, it's
not needed, since the shell knows where this is (try print,!DIR), and
IDLWAVE and the IDL shell get along famously. If you are interested in
scanning your own libraries into a catalog (which is what it sounds like
to me), two things must happen:

1. Those libraries must be on IDL's !PATH variable. This is usually
set with an environment variable, e.g.:

setenv IDL_PATH "+/usr/local/rsi/idl/lib:+/home/me/idl"

or some such. Basically, this is what's required for IDL to run the
command. If you can run it without manually compiling, IDLWAVE will let
you catalog it.

2. Run the catalog command: "IDLWAVE->Routine Info->Select Catalog
Directories".

Or even better, read the tutorial, where this process is covered in
detail

As I mentioned, the correct way is to set IDL_PATH environment variable.

Good luck,
