generators for grand

[Daniele Andreucci]

Hi!

I have problems with using the procedure "grand" in my Linux Debian
Squeeze-amd64 installation. These problem do not show up in a Debian
Squeeze i386 (that is 32 bit) system (in a different PC).

Essentially, grand does not seem to work with the generator "fsultra",
while it works with "mt" (I did not test well the other generators, but
a one-shot trial seems to indicate that kiss and urand are also not
working, while clcg2/4 do work).

I report below what I obtain with Scilab 5.2.2 (standard Debian
package), but the same happens with a just installed Scilab 5.3.0-beta5
(64 bit), anyway.

I can't find any relevant help searching the list for "grand"; am I
mistaken on the use of generators?

Thanks a lot for any help.

Daniele
