[Scilab-users] file permission and demo_gui()

[Samuel Gougeon]

Hello Jean-Yves,
Never met this issue. It looks proper to your install. Could you please 
post the actual full error message? Presently, we don't know if you are 
analyzing the issue, or if you -- partially -- report it. In addition to 
the described installation, the full error message would definitely help.
Thanks
Samuel
