You don't have the @samp{browse-url} (or other required) XEmacs package.
Unlike Emacs, XEmacs distributes many packages separately from the
main program. IDLWAVE is actually among these, but is not always the
most up to date. When installing IDLWAVE as an XEmacs package, it
should prompt you for required additional packages. When installing it
from source, it won't and you'll get this error. The easiest solution
is to install all the packages when you install XEmacs (the so-called
@samp{sumo} bundle). The minimum set of XEmacs packages required by
IDLWAVE is @samp{fsf-compat, xemacs-base, mail-lib}.
