[Scilab-users] scilab 6.0 beta, command line history and freezes

[Pierre-Aimé Agnel]

Hi everyone,

This might be a problem with the libncurses that are packaged (that 
handles terminal display). There is a workaround for fixing it, you can 
force scilab to use your system libs with (for example)

LD_PRELOAD="/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncurses.so.5" bin/scilab -nw

See if this workaround solves that problem:
=> if it solves it, I'll mark it as a duplicate of bug 14404 
<http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14404>
=> if not you may update the bug with the result of [the following might 
be interesting if you have a scilab stuck for linux users and bug reporting]
|
gdb --pid=$(pidof scilab-bin scilab-cli-bin lt-scilab-bin 
lt-scilab-cli-bin) --eval-command='thread apply all bt'|

This will attach gdb to your stuck scilab, you can then post the back 
trace and we can analyze where the problem is.

Thank you for reporting, hope this helps,

Pierre-Aimé
