I recently bumped into a legacy code/path problem as well. It left
the very aggravating series of error messages as follows:

> compile module COLORBAR
> ERROR: COLORBAR not found.

(to paraphrase the error list). It was a very annoying couple of minutes,
before it occurred to me to check the paths, and what exactly was going
on. Apparently this is the first time I ran colorbar in IDL*.
