[scilab-Users] 64 bit Linux anyone.

[Anton Soppelsa]

Hi,

I built a 64-bit version on my laptop with a debian distribution.

I didn't use the dependancy package and I had to use a special option of 
the configure file to leave ot the modelica complier (which cannot be 
downloaded as a debian package).

I had to install several packages I didn't already have and I used the 
debian package manager to do that.

The configuration and the build seemd finally to go well but I ended up 
to have the problems
1), 2) and 3), but not problem 4).

The use of the sun version of Java is in my opinion mandatory as is the 
presence of the JOGL libraries.

Cheers,
  Anton
