[Scilab-Dev] Beginner in Scilab

[Guilherme Kunigami]

Hi again,

I think I got the latest version using GIT, but this time I'm not being able
to compile it. When I run 'make' I get some dependence errors. I think the
relevant messages are these:

http://pastebin.com/f4a117ca3

It seems I'm missing libjava.so, libverify.so, libjvm.so and libhpi.so at
/usr/bin/ld.

Executing a 'locate libjava.so' it show that I have this file at the
following locations:

/home/kunigami/downloads/scilab-5.1/java/jdk1.6.0_11/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so
/home/kunigami/downloads/scilab-5.1/java/jre1.6.0_11/lib/i386/libjava.so
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.10/jre/lib/i386/libjava.so

The first two locations refer to a package I downloaded from Scilab page
because of dependencies (but I haven't used those yet). I thought that
setting the third location at $LD_LIBRARY_PATH would solve the problem, but
that still give me some errors.

I'm able to compile the stable version perfectly, but not the git version.
Any clues?

Thank you again,
