This files is part of Irix, not IDL. On my Irix 6.5.4 system, it resides in

/usr/lib/libblas.so (1896084 bytes).

Do you run an environment setup script before starting IDL, such as

source /usr/local/rsi/idl/bin/idl_setup

or

. /usr/local/rsi/idl/bin/idl_setup.ksh

or do you just execute the idl startup script which resides in
/usr/local/bin ?

Cheers,
Liam.
