Hi again, IDL-folks,
Let me be a little bit more specific about the problem with "cd" in IDL
that I described earlier in this group:
(a) the problem is not linked to the IDL environment variables which are
correctly defined in the script "setup.idl".
(b) the problem occurs giving the command "cd, current=some_variable",
but only when the current directory is temporarily mounted by the
NIS-function "automount". Then the error-message: "% Unable to get
working directory." comes up.
(c) this is independent from where IDL has been started: the "cd" to the
external directory may have been done under Unix before starting IDL, or
any time from within IDL.
(d) "cd, current=some_variable" works correctly if the current directory
is permanently mounted by NFS, or for any directory on the local host.
Once again our system configuration: IDL 3.5.1, IBM RS6000/530H under AIX
3.2.5.
Any hints or help would be welcome.
Thanks, Markus
