Hello,

Neither 32- nor the 64-bit versions of Scilab 5.5.0 seem to like this computer and it's
64-bit W7 Ultimate OS.  The installs go fine, but when I start Scilab up all it does
is to flash its GUI for a tenth of a second and then vanishes.  Task Manager says it's
not there either running on the background yet invisible or not responding.

What could that problem be?  Can anyone help?  Have any of you had this problem
before?  What other packages not self-contained in the installer do I need?  I have
Java 8 64-bit, would that be the problem?  Does Scilab generate an error log report
I could post here/somewhere to get some insight on the problem?

Many thanks in advance.

Fausto

Hi Fausto,

I flew away from Microsoft 23 years ago, but I remember that it was possible for you to
open a DOS terminal  ;-))

The reason of your problems is probably an OpenGL configuration problem.

Could you type "glxinfo" without the quotes and post the result of this command.

...if it does not begin like this ... try first to configure correctly your graphic card driver
for OpenGL and direct rendering (DRI or DRI2) compatibility.
