Hi Stéphane, hi Samuel, hi all,
The idea behind SCIHOME is to have a version specific directory to avoid any
issues when upgrading from Scilab versions to Scilab versions ; IMHO
implementing an upgrade for files stored into this directory is for me a
non-sense ; the upgrade could be done manually (as Samuel described) for the
few users that copy the files between SCIHOMEs.

Subject: Re: [Scilab-users] 6.1.1 startup error
Hi,
The version of Scilab which generated the configuration.xml should be contained
in some attribute of the top level element, i.e.
<Profile name="scilab" version="6.1.1">
This would allow to trigger a proper upgrade of the file when the Scilab
version differs or a regeneration if the file cannot be upgraded.

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:

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?
