Well, if you have landed on this page, you must have got something like this when you ran Scilab 5.1.1 on linux
bin/scilab: line 132: 8184 Segmentation fault "$SCILABBIN" $*
The easiest way to get around this is to run it as
$ bin/scilab -nogui
You obviously will have to sacrifice the "improved" GUI features of Scilab 5.1.1. But it really shouldn't matter much as gedit/kwrite are perfectly fine as text editors. And I think the terminal version is much much easier to use than the GUI version.
Update:
- Well, no GUI is a problem when you want to plot graphs :( I haven't yet figured out a way to get around this.
- Ubuntu has a deb package to install scilab 5.1. Fedora users, bad luck.
