In reality, my experience with Fedora is a bit limited- I have a preference for Ubuntu- especially as packaged by CAELinux (www.caelinux.com), which in its latest incarnation (version 2010) uses Scilab 5.2.1- already configured and ready to run...I haven't tested all of the features yet. Previously, I was using the *.deb package for Unbuntu from the Ubuntu packages- again, all dependencies resolved for me. Yeah, I tend to be a bit lazy, and find that the latest version is not always the best version. have you considered an older version?<br><br>Charlie<br><br>> From: deanm@sharplabs.com<br>> To: users@lists.scilab.org<br>> CC: users@lists.scilab.org<br>> Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 11:38:58 -0700<br>> Subject: Re: [scilab-Users] Building Scilab 5.3.0-beta 4 on Fedora 13<br>> <br>> Charlie Warner wrote:<br>> > Have a look at this bug report:<br>> <snip><br>> <br>> Thanks Charlie for your quick response!<br>> <br>> Yes, I've read all that.
