[scilab-Users] Compiling and lauch problem under ubuntu 11.04

[Mathieu Dubois]

Hello,

This may sound stupid but why do you want to compile scilab?

Scilab 5.3.1 is in the ubuntu repository (I use it on Ubuntu 11.04). If 
you want the last version (5.3.3 or 5.4 alpha) you can download the 
binaries from scilab website and simply modify you PATH environment 
variable (it tried that and it works very well).
