[scilab-Users] Building Scilab 5.3.0-beta 4 on Fedora 13

[Charlie Warner]

In reality, my experience with Fedora is a bit limited- I have a preference for Ubuntu- especially as packaged by CAELinux (www.caelinux.com), which in its latest incarnation (version 2010) uses Scilab 5.2.1- already configured and ready to run...I haven't tested all of the features yet.  Previously, I was using the *.deb package for Unbuntu from the Ubuntu packages- again, all dependencies resolved for me.  Yeah, I tend to be a bit lazy, and find that the latest version is not always the best version.  have you considered an older version?
