I think you may have overcomplicated things a bit. What you say is true if
Damiano wanted to install routines such that they were picked up by everybody
logging into that computer, but that possibility wasn't discussed in the
original post.

As has already been pointed out, the simplest way to do what Damiano asked was
to define IDL_PATH to point to his directory. He doesn't need superuser
permission for that, so long as he's only doing it for himself.
