Hello,<br>
<br>
This may sound stupid but why do you want to compile scilab?<br>
<br>
Scilab 5.3.1 is in the ubuntu repository (I use it on Ubuntu 11.04).
If you want the last version (5.3.3 or 5.4 alpha) you can download
the binaries from scilab website and simply modify you PATH
environment variable (it tried that and it works very well).<br>

<div>So i followed the instruction below by adding the code into <span
style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); font-family:
Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;"><b>etc/jvm_options.xml</b>,
and then got the error information mentioned in the later part
of the post.</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);

</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
font-family: Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">However, when
i continued, i was stopped at the last step : "</span><span

</span></div>
<div><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);
font-family: Arial,'Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">I searched the
installation path and only find two <b>build.xml</b> : </span></div>

<div><font face="Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif">Both of them

</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial, 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif">Are these the
