Dear all,
thank you very much for all your help. With suggestion from Doug, I finally be able to solve this problem. First of all, I'm sorry that I forget to mention I'm using Mac OSX 10.11 public beta 3 and IDL v7.1.1. This problem not appears in 10.10.4. So, may be Apple changes something. The solution is that just COPY .bash_profile to .bashrc, since OSX don't have the .bashrc in the first place (also I have already set the $PATH in .bash_profile, that's why it is ok when using idl in terminal). It's seems that IDLDE v7 only recognizes the .bashrc.
