[Scilab-users] atomsLoad

Hi,

  Thank you for the explanations. They make me the atom philosophy clearer :-)

Yes, and I understand now it's rather good nothing was installed because the atoms "emd_toolbox" is not compatible with Scilab-6.1.

Yes, but I have to learn and I'm more irresponsible to do what I did :-)

So, I think the best way it to use older Scilab version because 
- only too old emd_toolbox is "atomsInstalled" with Scilab-6.1 and not "atomsLoadable"
- with http://atoms.scilab.org/5.3 repository, the atomsLoad() function alway gives "bad library path"
- I'm not able to start with library source code

Two questions:
- Which Scilab version should I used? (only 5.5.2 or 5.1.1 are available on http://www.scilab.org)
- Is the message "bad libray path" given by atomsLoad() mean there is a compatiliby issues? If yes, why does atomsInstall() intall without any error while atomsLoad() give errors?

Thank for all,
