Yes, this is a permission problem. Scilab writes a history log into ~/scilab.hist in your home directory. Sometimes during the installation of Scilab, this file gets created with root as its owner. It should be owned by you.great :)
So do "ls -l ~/scilab.hist" to see the permissions, and
sudo chown user ~/scilab.hist
to fix it.
BTW, this same problem appears often with other files as well, causing sometimes errors that are hard to detect. Examples I have seen are
.tcsh_history, .qt, .TeXmacs. Best to check with "ls -la ~" and look hard at anything not owned by you.
it�s still very happy at crashing, once something calls the graphical window, though....
plot2d, the menu bar, ... it all causes the scilab wintow to close, killing the process as well... I do have xaw3d installed though...
anything I might have missed?
