English is clearly not my first language too 😅 You have several solutions for that. And we have two universes : MSwin (I know nothing) and OSX + Linux You can set it before starting GDL, or after. What I have is an alias, a Bash file called LastGDL, to start GDL adding several third party libs. (Astron, mpfit, Coyote, my libs ...)
just cut the lines you don't need and adjust the paths ... Another way, assuming your GDL is well install with access to the PRO files we have, is to do :
(first / for absolute path ...) Later you can also add this line to a GDL startup file ... HTH Questions welcome Alain |

concerning the way to have a simple procedure to have it "easily for beginners" I do have somewhere a draft for IPM made by a student but I do not consider it as OK now. concerning PATH_ADD, I never try on MSwin. Could you look at the internal !PATH before and after ?
the second one should have been changed ... If using the absolute path is a problem, you can do that relatively. |

@AngelDGJurado additionnally the GDL workbench is, as far as I know, untested under Windows. |

Ok, for what i can figure out it's working as it should, it recognises the astron folder in path
Ok, as far as I can understand, it works, the path is added to the top of the list, however the problem I originally had is still present (I thought it was because I didn't install it correctly, but it seems as if that wasn't the problem. |

Hello, I am not used to IDL or GDL, but I need to use it for my thesis, but I don't know where to put the "astron" library so that it is recognized in the GDL workbench. I hope someone can help me with this request, I am new to this.
English is not my main language so sorry for any issues.
