i'd say try a rebuild
Comment by Stefan Husmann (stefanhusmann) - Friday, 17 June 2011, 23:17 GMT
A simple rebuild will not do it. There also is a newer version of scilab, but I also have build problems there.

I'm uploading a rebuild of scilab 5.1.3, and fixed a couple of building problems.

They may also work for 5.1.4, I haven't tried as I didn't check for a new version before.

sorry, the hdf5 rebuild doesn't fix the xcos problem...

after building a separate hdf-java lib it correctly detects the 1.8.7 version (well it loads the lib which it didn't before) but still doesn't work... I may check further at a later time.
