For new/upgraded idl, manually set up at least one link updated 20241105 for antares

Published by jweisber on 2021-05-15
I needed to put a “version” of idl_setup into the new host’s /usr/local/bin/   :
Obsolete from 2021:
{canopus.physics.carleton.edu}:{jweisber}:/usr/local/bin>
sudo ln -s /usr/local/harris/idl/bin/idl_setup .
New for 20241105 for antares, idl90:
{antares.physics.carleton.edu}:{jweisber}:/usr/local/bin>
sudo ln -s /usr/local/nv5/idl90/bin/idl_setup .
The final dot means link it into the current directory.

There are lots of similar links and maybe they were also all manually created:
