[scilab-Users] Changing Win7 to Ubuntu Linux -> toolboxes

[Charlie Warner]

If you are moving to Ubuntu Linux, may I suggest that you have a look at the *.deb package from Ubuntu packages (http://packages.ubuntu.com/maverick/scilab).  This is not the latest version (Version 5.2.2), but it will build automatically on your machine (64 or 32 bit) with all of the dependencies met.  I am of the opinion that one should work with stable versions of any software package when one is trying to do real work.  As noted by others, any code you may have written in c or fortran will have to be re-compiled, but Ubuntu comes with excellent c and fortran compilers...

Hi,
 
If I change my operational system Windows7 to Ubuntu Linux, may all my toolboxes that I downloaded *.bin.zip
be used in Linux ? Or should I download the files *.src.zip ?
 
Is the file *.bin.i686.linux.tar.gz for Linux 32bits or 64bits ?
 
Thank you.
 
All best,
Reinaldo.
