I was trying to use the library multinest, a tool for bayesian
statistics.
It requires a user-function as input.
there are some previous posts on this group discussing this problem,
but they were quite old and unsuccessful.
I was hoping there were news about that.

anyway multinest is mpi-compatible, and into the External Development
Guide they say
you should not call an idl function in a parallel code
(and you should not use callable idl in a code called somehow by idl).
by the way I gave up and wrote a c-code.
