[Scilab-Dev] Matio dependency (Fedora)

[Simone Mannori]

Hello:

for Fedora user "libmatio-dev" is NOT packaged :

download source code from 

http://sourceforge.net/projects/matio 

unpak it 

"tar xjvf matio-1.3.2.tar.bz2 "

change folder 

"cd matio-1.3.2"

"./configure"

"make"

switch to super-user with

"su"

then

"make install"

very paranoiac user like me run also

"/sbin/ldconfig"

With this procedure Scilab's 

"./configure" 

will detect automatically the installed library... and everybody will
live and prosper ;)

Simone 

P.S. Yes: I like compile Scilab ;)
