I did self update, and it seems to install some packages now. F2C and DLCOMPAT did work. However, I tried SCILAB twice, and it goes on and on for hours, until it crashes my computer. I'm trying OCTAVE now. Its also been running for hours, and seems to repeat itself (I mean the screen output). Is it possible there is still a problem?
