Hey Patrick:
What you want to do is uninstall Scilab from Ubuntu, and hand install
it.
This can be very easy, if you don't mind not having a shortcut in your
start menu. I use Lubuntu, so the following directions should work for
you, more or less (with the caviat that I'm no sysop).
* Download the tar
Hmm, the UDOO is an Arm platform.
I don't think there is a precompiled tar of scilab for this kind of CPU.
Did anyone try to compile scilab from source on an Arm machine?

* Unpack it into your home directory someplace (I'd make a temporary
directory, in the event of screwups: as I said, I'm a user, not a
sysop).
If you don't want to make it available to all users, stop -- just run
scilab from the command line with <whatever>/scilab-5.5.1/bin/scilab.
Otherwise:
* Change ownership to root:
sudo chown root:root --recursive scilab-5.5.1
* Move it someplace sensible
sudo mv scilab-5.5.1 /usr/local/share
* Put a script file somewhere in your path to invoke it from the command
line. I put 'scilab' in /usr/local/bin; it reads:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/local/share/scilab-5.5.1/bin/scilab $*
* You'll need to make the script file so that it's owned by root, and
you'll need to make the script file executable. You can do this by:
** Go to the right directory and invoke leafpad as root:
cd /usr/local/bin
sudo leafpad scilab
** then copy the script I gave into the file, save and exit, and then
mark it as executable:
sudo chmod +x scilab
At this point, you should be able to type 'scilab' at the command line,
and have Scilab come up.

HI there,
I've installed scilab on an udoo developting platform running lubuntu 12.04
using:
sudo apt-get install scilab
which installs version 5.3.3.
How can I upgrade scilab to the latest stable version 5.5.1 or alternatively
reinstall latest version.
Any help is very much welcome.
Thanks.
