How to modify my IDL library path? [message #57080]

Dear all,

I have been trying to install the famous textoidl utility into my
computer. In order to keep this add-on separate from the original
library, I made a directory /usr/local/itt/idl64/addon and I decide to
put all my add-ons into that directory.

It turns out that in most cases this will work. (namely, when I put
a .pro file in that directory), but if I put a whole directory under
that directory, IDL will not find the files. (e.g. when I extracted
all the textoidl files to /usr/local/itt/idl64/addon/textoidl, IDL
won't see them at all.)

For managing sake, I don't want to extract textoidl files to /usr/
local/itt/idl64/addon/. Is it possible to change IDL's searching path?

Besides, it seems that IDL can't recognize my addons as a "native"
routine. (i.e. I need to compile them before I call them, unlike other
utilities such as interpolation.) Is there a trick to fix this?

Thank you all.

Gene
