Scilab 3.1.1 gtk version for MacOSX/fink (built from official sources)
[]
Is this better or can do it more?
It is probably better, because it is a newer version; also the gtk
version can do some things the older version couldn't. Whether it
introduces new bugs, I don't know. I haven't had time recently to follow
scilab's evolution. AFAIK, St�phane Mottelet and Fink's scilab
mainainter Jeff Whitaker have been in contact, so it could be that this
version will be in Fink in the future, but it's up to them to decide.
But why don't you just give it a try? From the link you give, it is very
easy to install, either from source or from the precompiled binary. It
looks like it is being a good Fink citizen (except that it assumes your
Fink is installed in /sw, as every binary distribution does). So you can
also revert to your previous version if you don't like it. It would be
interesting for others to hear about your experiences with this new version.
