It's likely that you're accidentally using the Emacs-bundled version
of IDLWAVE, v4.7. You can see by "C-h v idlwave-mode-version". If
so, this means the stuff in /usr/local/share/... isn't being used at
all. Many linux systems, for some reason, come with Emacs configured
*not* to look in /usr/local/share/... for lisp files. You need to
configure your load-path in .emacs to include this directory:

(setq load-path (cons "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp" load-path))

You can view your load-path with "C-h v load-path". Now
complete-structtag should work, and you'll be using the newest IDLWAVE
version too.
