FWIW, OS X is based on FreeBSD, not Linux.

Mac HFS+ filesystems under OS X 10.3 are case preserving, but not case
sensitive. OS X 10.4 offers the option of creating case-sensitive
filesystems.

Different operating systems have different rules for handling case, so
it is always a good idea to use only lower case for file names. That
makes it a lot easier to move IDL source files.

That said, I don't understand why IDL won't find your file.
