Hello Stefan,

This kind of error might arise when the content of the SCIHOME directory of a previous scilab version is copied into the SCIHOME of the current 6.1.1 version, for instance to avoid respecifying all users preferences. Unfortunately, when the template of some configuration file is changed from one version to the next one, the file must be regenerated.

The issue should be fixed either by deleting the SCIHOME/configuration.xml file, and regenerating it automatically from scratch (quit Scilab and rerun it), or by editing it and changing or adding the line just before the </Profile> one, for instance with

<HelpBrowser  index="scatter3d"  lang="en_US"/>
</Profile>

Regards
Samuel

Hello,
when starting Scilab 6.1.1 with

  $ /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/bin/scilab

I get the message:

Startup execution:
  loading initial environment
at line    81 of function xmlGetValues       ( /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/share/scilab/modules/xml/macros/xmlGetValues.sci line 94 ) at line    22 of function help               ( /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/share/scilab/modules/helptools/macros/help.sci line 34 ) at line    14 of function helpbrowser_update ( /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/share/scilab/modules/helptools/macros/helpbrowser_update.sci line 25 )

xmlGetValues: Invalid attribute name: lang.

in Ubuntu Linux after a successful (apart from this) installation from
scilab-6.1.1.bin.linux-x86_64.tar.gz

What can I do?

Regards
Stefan
