Hi!
I'm trying to install "Scilab". In Scilab's page says that you only need to 'untar' the tarball containing the program and
in a terminal type (after moving to the directory containing Scilab):

Code: Select all

/bin/scilab

when i do that, i get:

Code: Select all

scilab-bin: /home/antonio/scilab/lib/thirdparty/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libpng16.so.16)

Could you, please, indicate me what to do?
Thanks

not a KDE issue, an openSUSE packaging issue or maybe a Scilab issue - see following links:
- https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get ... cilab.html
- https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get ... 2-3-a.html
also if you Google you'll probably find issues with other distros

have you tried compiling it?

suggest you ask on the Scilab forum

maybe try the beta https://www.scilab.org/download/5.5.0-beta-1

Hi,
Scilab-5.4.1 can be installed by adding my repo scilab2014 for openSUSE-13.1 as follow

Code: Select all

$sudo zypper ar  http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...openSUSE_13.1/ SCILAB2014

OR

by using YaST

Installation was checked for KDE-4.11.3, openSUSE-13.1 x86_amd64

Hope to it is useful.

Dear Ierkurt,

I have a standard installation of openSUSE 13.1, using KDE 12.11.4.

I did as explained but had problems with some libraries which I had to copy to the /usr/lib64 or /usr/lib64/scilab directories. The libraries were:
libjava.so
libverify.so
libjvm.so
libzip.so

Then I am receiving the following error message:
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/Object

Do you have any hint to solve this!

Thank for your help.

Hi,

Did you install scilab from my repository?

Thanks!

Please send a complete error log, I'll try to fix it.

Also try to reinstall Scilab and JDK packages.

It's OK now! Scilab is now working fine!

As the error messages referred to problems with java I installed the Oracle Java and made it my default option, instead of the openjdk.

Thanks for the solution and help!
