IDLWAVE tab completion error [message #58718]

Hi all,
I'm trying to get IDLWAVE to work. I've installed emacs 22.1.1 and
IDLWAVE-6.0 in my home directory on a 64-bit linux cluster with IDL
6.2beta installed on it. I've gone through the tutorial at
http://idlwave.org/idlwave.html#SEC6 and some things work, such as
auto-indentation and compiling/running the program, but I when I try
to tab-complete the plot_wday routine I get the error:

'Wrong type argument: consp, nil'

I get the same error when I try to use C-c ? to get information about
a routine.
I noticed that when I start up emacs with an IDL file, emacs
complains:

'Cannot locate IDL Assistant, enabling default browser.'

I've tried running without my .emacs files (emacs -q) but I have the
same problems. I'm guessing that maybe the IDL directories are in non-
standard places but I don't know how to account for this in my .emacs.
Any ideas?
