[scilab-Users] SOS: Version with Xcos usable for academic teaching??

[ray joseph]

Nick,

The specific match is (b) dragging blocks in 5.2.2.  This did not work the first couple of times.  But after waiting a while, it worked.  This was repeatable.

  Thank you, Ray,

  this is a hint :-) -- but are you speaking about the problem

  (a) the impossibility saving with SUM/PROD,

  (b) the impossibility of dragging blocks out of the Palette browser,

  i.e. are you speaking about the current release 5.2.2 or a nightly build (which one)?

  I already tried your proposal at some of our systems, without success so far -- the nightly build is still missing, and I would be very pleased if there is a solution. As it requires GLIBC_2.11, which is not supported by my distro, I will get another one running and try out.

  Hopefully, more people will reply to my request in the meantime.


  All the best,

      Nick

Nick,

I found a similar problem on a new installation on a Windows 2000 machine.
I found that many things did not work ... right away.  After a few minutes,
features began to work.

  Dear all,


some days ago I posted an -- unfortunately unanswered -- request for
access to a version of 5.2.2 usable for academic teaching.

We tried out the »official« release and, unfortunately, where unable to
save Xcos models with sum blocks -- on five different systems, including
several Windowses and Linux.

The bug seems to be identical to one reported very recently (Thomas
Yamaguchi, 2010-6-7 22:28) about the same problem with prod blocks -- 
which reportedly was solved at the then-actual nightly build.

Unfortunately, the nightly build *I downloaded* did not even allow
dragging blocks out of the palette browser.

My question: Can anybody give a comment right to

o   confirm our observations or not,

o   provide a link to the nightly build version which helped the guy
with the prod block problem -- or an equivalent one?

Although the only answer we got right now was somebody advising us to
switch to scicos we still cannot believe Scilab 5.2.2 has been *all the
time until now* in a state as unstable as we found it -- we are
desperately looking for a solution.

*Please* answer and do not keep silent...


Thank you a lot in advance,

    Nick
