If you don't see it with FILE_WHICH, it is *not* in
your path. :-)

Download this file:

http://www.dfanning.com/misc/printpath.pro

And then run it like this:

IDL> printpath

You should see a list of the directories on your IDL
path. I'd bet some money the astronomy library isn't
there.

You could go to Window->Preferences->IDL->Paths
and add it to your IDL path, if you like.

Cheers,

David
