[scilab-Users] 64 bit Linux anyone.

[Malcolm Northcott]

Sylveste, I tried the 64 bit Linux build this evening, and it's very  
close . Again scilex works fine but graphics is broken. Problem  
appears to be some 32 bit libs in scilab/lib which break the loader in  
a pure 64bit environment . Problem libs are gluegen-rt, jogl_cg, jogl  
and jogl_awt
