idlwave-library-path is a customizable variable defined in idlwave.el.gz.

Value

nil

Documentation

Library path for Windows and Mac OS (OS9). Not needed under UNIX.

When selecting the directories to scan for IDL user catalog routine info, IDLWAVE can, under UNIX, query the shell for the exact search path (the value of !PATH). However, under MS-Windows, the IDLWAVE shell does not work. In this case, this variable can be set to specify the paths where IDLWAVE can find PRO files. The shell will only be asked for a list of paths when this variable is nil. The value is a list of directories. A directory preceded by a + will be searched recursively. If you set this variable on a UNIX system, the shell will not be queried. See also idlwave-system-directory.
