[Scilab-users] Scilab cannot work on macOS 10.15 Catalina: Any        progress in sight?

[stephane.mottelet at utc.fr]

  Thanks Samuel. So the regexp error can eventually have the same  
cause (libcurl version mismatch). I have packaged a scilab-6.0.2  
without these libraries (and removing the 10.15 warning) for OSX users  
at the following URL:

http://www.utc.fr/~mottelet/scilab/download/6.0.2/scilab-6.0.2-x86_64-2019-11-04.dmg

CL, Heinz, Willi can you test it ? I recommend temporary  
renaming/moving your .Scilab/scilab-6.0.2 directory before testing

  Hello,

Concerning the ATOMS problems with 6.0.2 on OSX Catalina (Windows  
users please stop reading further... ;-)), I have the following error  
on a freshly installed configuration (dedicated partition on my  
machine):

Scilab 6.0.2 (Aug 19 2019, 11:47:50)

   

  --> ATOMSLIST

  atomsDownload: The following file hasn't been downloaded:

  - URL      : 'http://atoms.scilab.org/6.0/TOOLBOXES/64/macosx.gz[1]'

  All ATOMS repositories scan failed.

In fact the temp folder 

/private/var/folders/pp/hrld62h917x_ccf55yzn78z00000gn/T/SCI_TMP_1093_DIw7vR/.atoms

is empty. This is not a network problem as the following command succeeds:
 

  --> GETURL HTTP://ATOMS.SCILAB.ORG/6.0/TOOLBOXES/64/MACOSX.GZ[1] 

   ans  =

   

   

   /Users/mottelet/macosx.gz

  Samuel do you have an idea ?

   

  It is possibly either a file-locking issue (for instance due to a  
previous error without closing the file, that atoms then tries to  
overwrite. Possible workaround : quit the session to unlock the file,  
and retry), or an unzip issue (there were formerly many issues due to  
the fact that unzipping did not force overwritting ; but that should  
be completely fixed in 6.0.2).

  For some (fortunately very rare) ATOMS modules, the software used by  
the author to bundle the ATOMS archive of the module is not a standard  
one, and the ATOMS unzip command is not able to do the job. But it's  
not the case here.

  The regexp error is very likely due to an empty case after failing  
to get a vector (of packages names or either):

  --> regexp([],"hk")
regexp: Wrong type for input argument #1: string expected.

It's hard to debug when an issue is transient or not fully reproducible.
By the way, i have no easy access to a MacOS computer.

For contribution

Samuel
