Hi Derick, I downloaded the sources from www.scilab.org and attempted to compile them under OS X (using gcc 4). They claimed to be configured for a general unix distribution, so it should have worked (I ran configure first and it seemed to detect the system fine). I can try the same thing on my linux box and see whether it would work (the problem was an incompatibility between some Apple header and a scilab header file).
Could it be obtained using yum? I thought scilab was a little too arcane for the standard yum repositories. Thanks. -wn On Dec 7, 2006, at 2:29 PM, Derick Centeno wrote: > Hi Warren: > > Questions: > * Did you download the source of all the dependencies of this program > and compile them from within the version of YDL you are using? > Consider that this suggestion may not be necessary if there are ppc > versions of those dependencies, you can do a quick check of that by > using yum. > Note you can check for scilab's dependencies by exploring scilab's > mirrors and checking their readme docs. > > Search for scilab dependencies using yum: > # yum search "*libc.so.6*" > See what yum finds out... if it's available, install it with yum. > > * The above completed, attempt the recompilation of the source for > scilab. > > Maybe, just maybe, all the above has already been done for you.
