I knew there was an easier way!! Maybe trying to read the External

Typically, the license directory is under $RSI_DIR, not $IDL_DIR. Also,
make sure that your $PATH is updated also so that the correct
executables are called.

For csh and equivalent:
setenv RSI_DIR /usr/local/rsi
setenv IDL_DIR $RSI_DIR/idl_6.0 # or idl_5.6

setenv LM_LICENSE_FILE $RSI_DIR/license/license.dat
setenv IDL_PATH +$IDL_DIR/lib
setenv PATH $PATH:$IDL_DIR/bin
