So I downloaded these two packages for scilab-5.0-beta-1: http://www.scilab.org/download/5.0-beta-1/prerequirements-scilab-5.0-beta-1-src.tar.gz http://www.scilab.org/download/5.0-beta-1/scilab-5.0-beta-1-src.tar.gz Doing ./configure kept failing until I got everything it needed, except matio (http://sourceforge.net/projects/matio) since I couldn't find it in Ubuntu 8.04. Summarizing, here's what needs to be done: $ sudo apt-get install gfortran sun-java6-jdk ant libncurses5-dev ocaml-native-compilers libxml2-dev lapack3-dev atlas3-base-dev libpcre3-dev tcl-dev tk-dev These are the dependencies... talking about multiple languages: fortran, java, ocaml, tcl/tk... I found this link after all that experimentation: http://wiki.scilab.org/Dependencies_of_Scilab_5.X Package: gfortran -- Description: The GNU Fortran 95 compiler Package: sun-java6-jdk -- Description: Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6 Package: ant -- Description: Java based build tool like make Package: libncurses5-dev -- Description: Developer's libraries and docs for ncurses Package: ocaml-native-compilers -- Description: Native code compilers of the ocaml suite (the .opt ones) Package: libxml2-dev -- Description: Development files for the GNOME XML library Package: lapack3-dev -- Description: library of linear algebra routines 3 - static version Package: atlas3-base-dev -- Description: Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software,generic static Package: libpcre3-dev -- Description: Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library - development files Package: tcl-dev -- Description: The Tool Command Language (default version) - development files Package: tk-dev -- Description: The Tk toolkit for Tcl and X11 (default version) - development files $ ./configure --without-matio $ make all It build successfully, but then... $ ./scilab-bin /home/hector/scilab/scilab-5.0-beta-1/.libs/lt-scilab-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjava.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This is all running within VMware with Mac OS X as host system: $ uname -a Linux ah-kan 2.6.24-16-server #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:58:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
