[Scilab-users] ?= SCILAB 6.0.2 Not running on UBUNTU 18.04 LT

[Chin Luh Tan]

Hi, 



Similar issue was faced by another linux distro a couple of weeks ago, try the below:



1. Try to locate the libjava.so to see whether java is install. if you, u could try to temporary set the JAVA_HOME and try to run scilab again



e.g.:



$ locate libjava.so

or

$ update-java-alternatives -l



and then



$ export JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/"   <-- use the path obtained from above

$ scilab

or

$ SCIPATH/scilab





2. If the installed java does not works, try to install the openjdk-11 jre

$ sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jre



repeat the export and run the scilab again.



If it works, u could set the JAVA_HOME path at .bashrc to make it permanent



Hope this helps.



rgds,

CL

I just tried on an ubuntu 18.04.3 (not a clean install, un upgrade from 17.10) and it worked without any issue.

Can you try to install a vm on your current setup and run an ubuntu live-cd and install scilab in it to see whether the problem is still there?
