Try using <IDL_DEFAULT> inside your IDL_PATH environment variable like
this:

csh:
setenv IDL_PATH "<IDL_DEFAULT>:+/foo/idllib"

bash:
export IDL_PATH="<IDL_DEFAULT>:+/foo/idllib"

IDL expands IDL_DEFAULT into the right lib directory based on which
version of IDL you are running. This way you don't have to change
IDL_PATH if you switch to running a different version of IDL.
