[Scilab-users] SIVP & Ubuntu

[Simon GARESTE]

Hi Nat0ne,

About the reason why you still have SIVP installed after 
removing/reinstalling scilab : a .Scilab folder is created in your home 
directory (ls ~/.Scilab), and contains the info about atoms. This folder 
is not deleted at the removing of Scilab. When you reinstall it, it 
checks and uses it if the folder exists, create it if it doesn't. You 
had it, it used it, and with SIVP in it. The easiest solution is to 
remove this folder (rm -r ~/.Scilab/scilab-5.3.3).

SIVP uses the library OpenCV, as you may have noticed. This library was 
included for the windows versions in the module, but not for Linux, in 
the 0.5.3 version of the module. This was due to a lack of testing in 
the 5.3.3 version. The latest release of Scilab is the 5.4.0. It 
includes a lot of fixes and improvments, plus the SIVP module has been 
fixed so that opencv is correctly included in the module, and work just 
by installing it.

After a little bit of work, we fixed the 0.5.3 version of the module. It 
has now the same version of opencv as the version for 5.4.0, with a 
better managing of the thirdparties, and does not need anything to be 
installed previously. So right now, if you do
atomsSystemUpdate()
atomsInstall(SIVP)

it should work. Can you confirm?
