`libIDL' is made a subdirectory of ORBit using the `modules' mechanism
of CVS. 

The problem is that, if you had checked out ORBit before this was done,
and try doing a `cvs update', the virtual subdirectory will not be
created.  Please try

	cd /path/to/ORBit
	cd ..
	cvs get ORBit			# `get' or `co' or `checkout'	

This should get you `libIDL'.  Or otherwise, what you did 
(mv libIDL ORBit/) will also work.
