The file ~/scilab.hist needs to be writable by the scilab (or scilex) process, that means by you as the owner of this process. What does "ls -l /Users/myhome/scilab.hist" say? What may have happened is that the first time you ran scilab, you did it as "sudo scilab". The file scilab.hist then is owned by root and not writable by yourself. "sudo rm" it and restart scilab. -- Martin _______________________________________________ Fink-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/fink-users
