[Scilab-users] Problem installing modules manually (atomsInstall)

[Lester Anderson]

Hello,

Tried setting the proxy with the settings our IT guy gave in the
Scilab preferences and it still failed, basically thinking it could
not access the Internet (which is incorrect)!

Trying the manual install again (downloaded a toolbox zip file) it
looks like it still needs access!

-->atomsInstall('scinetcdf_1.1.bin.x64.windows.zip')

!
         !
!
         !
!gzip: C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Temp\SCI_TM~1\ATOMS~1\1_TOOLBOXES.gz: not!
!      in gzip format
         !
WARNING: atomsDESCRIPTIONget: Extraction of the DESCRIPTION file
('C:\Users\landerso\AppData\Local\Temp\SCI_TM~1\ATOMS~1\1_TOOLBOXES.gz')
has failed.

and ...

-->atomsInstall('apifun_0.4.2-3.bin.zip')
 !--error 21
Invalid index.
at line     170 of function atomsInstall called by :
atomsInstall('apifun_0.4.2-3.bin.zip')

Confused to say the least the errors vary between the different archives.

I thought that atomsInstall could be used to install a module
downloaded without having access to the Internet.
