<!-- Converted from text/plain format -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Well, today I finally got around to trying scilab 5 RC1 on Linux. Unfortunately, I either had 2 bad downloads or there's a problem with the tar archive, because this is what I get:<BR>
<BR>
(until here extraction goes normal)<BR>
---------------------------------------------<BR>
scilab-5.0-rc1/lib/scilab/liblapack.so.3gf.0<BR>
tar: Skipping to next header<BR>
<BR>
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error<BR>
<BR>
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--length error<BR>
tar: Child returned status 1<BR>
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors<BR>
--------------------------------------------<BR>
<BR>
obviously, trying to run it nevertheless doesn't get me anywhere. </FONT>
