[scilab-Users] Scilab 5.3.1 launch failed

Thu Jul 22 09:51:48 CEST 2010

Hi Paul,

It looks like you don't have the right permission on the ~/.Scilab folder.
Can you try the following:

ls -alh ~/.Scilab

On the first line you should see the permissions/ownership for the "." 
folder, that is "~/.Scilab".
You should see something like:

drwx------  13 paul name-of-your-group   4,0K  8 juil. 13:06 .

or

drwx------  13 root root                             4,0K  8 juil. 13:06 .

If it belongs to root, you should change its ownership back to paul.

Antoine
