Well unfortunately I don't and it's causing a bug... I'm trying to understand why it was not created. I assume there is a piece of code that creates it at startup if the directory doesn't exist right? Can anybody reproduce the crash at startup it if they delete their .scilab directory?<br>

    Hi Guillaume,<br>
    <br>
    Normally you should have a directory ~/.Scilab.<br>

                <div>Hello,<br>
                  <br>
                  in preparation for the 5.4 release, I've been
                  compiling trunk pretty regularly on gentoo. Everything
                  was working fine until recently. However scilab
                  doesn't even start now. It compiles and install fine,
                  but bombs at startup. If I launch it from the command
                  line, I just see the following exception printed:<br>
                  java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException<br>
                  <br>
                  I've tracked it down to this commit (first commit when
                  it started to break):<br>
                  <br>
                   commit a715ab13a22b5e53d6d4f811ea44a24770ba7097<br>

                  <br>
                      Bug 11838 fixed: Maximized state of a window was
                  not saved in quitting<br>
                  <br>
                  The commit seems innocuous enough, but it completely
                  breaks scilab for me. Any idea what might cause this?<br>
                  <br>
                  Thanks,<br>
