Hello Jean-Yves,

I was not aware that the whole portal "http://atoms.scilab.org" can be 
successfully targeted without specifying any Scilab X.y version.
So i was assuming that you dowloaded the binary file by hand,  and then 
you installed it offline.

> 2) I added the atoms repository http://atoms.scilab/org because the default one is http://atoms.scilab.org/6.1 and it gives nothing!
I guess that by "it gives nothing" you mean that you did not get any 
emd_toolbox version installed.
That's expected, since the last published version with binaries for 
Linux was the 1.2 version for Scilab 5.5.
So it is filtered out if the target Scilab version is 6.1.

As far as i know, you won't be actually able to install and use the 
emd_toolbox with Scilab 6.1.
You have either to use Scilab 5.5 for this, or to port emb_toolbox to 
Scilab 6.1 yourself, by updating and recompiling it.

By the way, the behavior of the ATOMS server when no Scilab version is 
specified in the repository URL would deserve either being documented, 
or fixed. As far as i understand, then the user is completely free and 
responsible of what it does. In your case, by default the very first 
emd_toolbox version 1.0 has been installed (why not. It could be the 
last available one, instead...). Then the automatical choice of the 
default version of the dependency (stftb) is more obscure...
