I have installed IDL 8.6 on MAC Sierra. Recently, I updated Mac Sierra to High Sierra, and then IDL 8.6 meets some problems. For example, I tried to include a new idl source code path (e.g. /username/idl_source_path) to IDL ( idlde -> preference -> path ), and compiled an idl program which calls idl codes in the path. However, the idl can not find the source code and shows "Attempt to call undefined procedure: xxxx' ". Then, I rechecked the IDL preference, the path became uncompleted (e.g. /username/idl_ ). How to fix the problem? Thanks!

I have not heard of behavior such as this on MAC High Sierra (or at all). If you do more testing, does it appear that the "_" character is to blame? Can you try manually setting the PATH in the IDL Command Line, using the following command? PREF_SET, 'IDL_PATH', '<IDL_DEFAULT>:+/username/idl_source_path', /COMMIT
