scilab 5.0.1 crashes
ga
I have tried to install scilab 5.0.1 under Linux (Kubuntu 7.10 with
graphics card Intel 85x and i810 graphics driver). I read on the
release note that
"Errors often appear on Intel cards under Linux"
I wonder if this is my case and if there is a solution for it. Details
of my problem follows:
The main scilab window opens with a warning on the linux shell:
(<unknown>:8441): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
but seems to work for command line commands. As soon as I try to open
a graphic window or Scicos the program crashes and the command line is
full of messages such as:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" javax.media.opengl.GLException:

Intel drivers are pretty bad under Linux.
You can use Scilab graphisms by enabling the software acceleration
instead of the material.

thanks for your reply.
> Intel drivers are pretty bad under Linux.
this means that future release still will not work with this
configuration?

i'd like to but... I have no idea of what does it mean ;)

Scicos included in Scilab 5 is a poor port of an old version of Scicos;
it does not function properly. The latest version of Scicos is included
in scilabgtk which can be downloaded from www.scicos.org or directly
from www.scilabgtk.org.
