Description of Problem: Loading scilab-2.5-7 from the binary rpm or rebuilding from the src rpm produces an executable that crashes when one tries anything in it that open a graphic window. I would gather this is caused by some incompatibility tcl or tk. How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. open scilab 2. click on demos, try any one that uses graphics 3. or do any command that tries to plot Actual Results: scilab windows disappear, program has exited , but no error message or core file. Expected Results: Plot window opens and graphics are drawn Additional Information: This occurred in either gnome (my default) or kde environments. I downloaded a binary version 2.6 (not rpm) from the source producers (inria in France), and that works. It is nicer, however to have an rpm so I have a better database of what was loaded (and easier to remove) on my system
2.6-1 fixes the problems, and has been in rawhide for some time now.
