[Scilab-users] Cannot start Xcos

[Stefan Du Rietz]

Paul,
thank you very much for your help. Generally it is one's own fault 
when programs don't behave as expected ... So I started Scilab with 
all the same toolboxes but without my loadsci.sci and then I could 
start Xcos! But the strange thing is that if I then ran loadsci.sci 
from scilab's command line,

-->exec(SCIHOME+"/loadsci.sci", -1)

Xcos could still be started!

Am I haunted by some evil ghost?

Stefan
