I found a similar problem on a new installation on a Windows 2000 machine.
I found that many things did not work ... right away. After a few minutes,
features began to work.

Subject: [scilab-Users] SOS: Version with Xcos usable for academic
teaching??
</PRE>
<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Dear all,
some days ago I posted an -- unfortunately unanswered -- request for
access to a version of 5.2.2 usable for academic teaching.
We tried out the »official« release and, unfortunately, where unable to
save Xcos models with sum blocks -- on five different systems, including
several Windowses and Linux.
The bug seems to be identical to one reported very recently (Thomas
Yamaguchi, 2010-6-7 22:28) about the same problem with prod blocks --
which reportedly was solved at the then-actual nightly build.
Unfortunately, the nightly build *I downloaded* did not even allow
dragging blocks out of the palette browser.
My question: Can anybody give a comment right to
o confirm our observations or not,
o provide a link to the nightly build version which helped the guy
with the prod block problem -- or an equivalent one?
Although the only answer we got right now was somebody advising us to
switch to scicos we still cannot believe Scilab 5.2.2 has been *all the
time until now* in a state as unstable as we found it -- we are
desperately looking for a solution.
*Please* answer and do not keep silent...
Thank you a lot in advance,
Nick
