I should have known better than to write to the mailing list within my
first hour of starting to use a new software. I went and RTM. Here is
what I intended:
******************************
\[Lambda] = (2^(-2/\[Nu]) Gamma[1/\[Nu]]/Gamma[3/\[Nu]])^(-1/2);
Integrate[(\[Nu] *
Exp[-0.5 *Abs[z/ \[Lambda]]^\[Nu]]/(\[Lambda]* 2^(1 + 1/\[Nu])*
Gamma[1/\[Nu]])), {z, -\[Infinity], +\[Infinity]}]
******************************
Thanks for your comment.
