Hello Sylvestre,<br>
<br>
the moment seems to come where I have to look into the sources -- do
you have other clues besides the version of HDF5?<br>

;-)) Of course, I would not assist on basis of the binaries... but I am
not a build system expert and I need binaries to distribute to our
students, so I would be happy to have the automatic build process
activated in time after I have done a fix... That's all.<br>

<pre wrap=""><!---->Thanks for the bug report.
This might be related to an issue with hdf5 libraries.

Unfortunately, I have version 1.8.4, as required, installed:<br>
nick@weg:~$ strings /usr/lib/libhdf5.so | grep "version: "<br>
HDF5 library version: %d.%d.%d<br>
HDF5 library version: 1.8.4<br>

I am finishing it the next day, and translate it then, which -- thanks
Google Translate -- should go quickly.<br>

<pre wrap=""><!---->I am not sure to understand what you are talking about here ?!
AFAIK, there is no Tk into Xcos now.

Excuse me, this was unclear: I wanted to address the branching, i.e.
improving the reliability of marking a connection light green right to
be able to drag a branch. I guessed this to be one of the problems
people usually have when migrating from Tk, as Tk has features in
graphics object interaction which are missing in most other GUI
Toolkits and have to be implemented manually -- in this special case I
thought I identified a line object selection problem.<br>

By the way, if you don't mind, we could switch to <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:dev@lists.scilab.org">dev@lists.scilab.org</a>
(or private if you prefer) to chat about contribution aspects.
