Comment(by mpatel):
I don't think you need to rebuild / reinstall Sage, if the "non-Scilab"
parts appear to work as expected. Moreover, the notebook patch isn't
strictly necessary to make the Scilab interface work --- just to list the
new system in the drop-down menu.
The `sage -python setup.py install` command should copy the notebook files
in `SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python/site-packages/sage-*-py2.6.egg`, where * =
0.6 in this case. `sage -python` (`sage -ipython`) runs the Sage
distribution's Python (IPython) intepreter, which searches for packages in
`SAGE_ROOT/local/lib/python`, instead of `/usr/lib/python2.x`.
It may be a false lead, but the 999 error is interesting because Sage runs
`scilab -nogui` in the background. I don't get this error with 64-bit
5.2, 64-bit 5.1.1, or 32-bit 5.1.1 (I didn't try any other versions) on
64-bit Linux, but I've been wrong before, and it could be irrelevant.
