this is my web page, but unfortunately, it's only about release 4, not release 5. I have many problems with release 5: http://www.latp.univ-mrs.fr/informatique/doku.php?id=scilab (sorry in french, i have no time at the moment to translate it) The main information is that scilab5 doesn't work actually on solaris 10, it works only in opensolaris (os2008.11) with very ugly hacks! > Blastwave site is usually the place to get binaries ported to Solaris. > http://www.blastwave.org/ > blastwave? opencsw? after the split, we users lose many things. From a linux point of view, offers are very poor in solaris hpc software > Visit(LLNL) does not seem to be ported yet, so let me spend some time on it. My colleague Y.

Nobody else would use it, because linux or microsoft have better offers. But we (people using solaris) are persuaded that we are right in using solaris in hpc dev. We hope that Sun too... thanks for your reply, -- Gerard HENRY LATP UMR6632 39, rue F. Joliot Curie 13453 MARSEILLE Cedex 13 Tel.: 04 91 11 35 53 Fax.: 04 91 11 35 52
