You should add your library directory to your !PATH - File-

Then you can call every procedure/function in the library without ever
having to compile it first. In fact, any directory that has any .pro
file in it is probably better off in !PATH. Top level directories,
anyway - thankfully IDL searches recursively.

Take care,
Chris
