Hi folks, now there are some issues with HDF5 latest API, let's await for a patch. We recommend use scilab-bin until this issue will be fixed.

I had some problems while triyng to plot. They were solved by: 1) Appending the lines written by MatejSpindler's option 1 to the package() function 2) Running scilab with `LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 scilab'

I got this error when try to install: Problem when exporting Xcos schema /tmp/yaourt-tmp-diegonimus/aur-scilab/src/scilab-5.4.1/modules/xcos/help/en_US/solvers/../../../demos/Controller.xcos ! java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor55.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:601) at org.scilab.modules.helptools.image.XcosImageConverter.convertToPNG(Unknown Source) at org.scilab.modules.helptools.image.XcosImageConverter.convertToImage(Unknown Source) at org.scilab.modules.helptools.image.ImageConverter.getImageByFile(Unknown Source) at org.scilab.modules.helptools.HTMLDocbookTagConverter.handleImagedata(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor26.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:601) at org.scilab.modules.helptools.DocbookTagConverter.handleDocbookTag(Unknown Source) at org.scilab.modules.helptools.DocbookTagConverter.endElement(Unknown Source) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.SAXDriver.endElement(SAXDriver.java:792) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1042) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseContent(XmlParser.java:1222) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1037) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseContent(XmlParser.java:1222) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1037) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseContent(XmlParser.java:1222) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1037) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseContent(XmlParser.java:1222) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1037) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseContent(XmlParser.java:1222) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1037) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseContent(XmlParser.java:1222) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1037) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseContent(XmlParser.java:1222) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1037) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseContent(XmlParser.java:1222) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1037) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseContent(XmlParser.java:1222) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseElement(XmlParser.java:1037) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.parseDocument(XmlParser.java:510) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.XmlParser.doParse(XmlParser.java:163) at com.icl.saxon.aelfred.SAXDriver.parse(SAXDriver.java:320) at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:392) at javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.parse(SAXParser.java:328) at org.scilab.modules.helptools.DocbookTagConverter.convert(Unknown Source) at org.scilab.modules.helptools.SciDocMain.process(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.scilab.modules.xcos.Xcos at org.scilab.modules.xcos.graph.XcosDiagram.installStylesheet(Unknown Source) at org.scilab.modules.xcos.graph.XcosDiagram.<init>(Unknown Source) at org.scilab.modules.xcos.utils.XcosDelegates.convertToPNG(Unknown Source) ... 39 more Problem when exporting Xcos schema /tmp/yaourt-tmp-diegonimus/aur-scilab/src/scilab-5.4.1/modules/xcos/help/en_US/solvers/../../../demos/Kalman.xcos ! java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException Warning: the macro loadmatfile is used in an example and is undocumented (load.xml).

There are 2 options: option 1: library libgluegen2-rt.so is located in prerequirements-scilab-4.5.1-x86_64-src.tar.gz. So I added these lines to the end of package function in PKGBUILD. cd $srcdir/${pkgname}-${pkgver}/bin install -Dm644 libgluegen2-rt.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/scilab/libgluegen2-rt.so install -Dm644 libjogl_cg.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/scilab/libjogl_cg.so install -Dm644 libjogl_desktop.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/scilab/libjogl_desktop.so install -Dm644 libnativewindow_awt.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/scilab/libnativewindow_awt.so install -Dm644 libnativewindow_x11.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/scilab/libnativewindow_x11.so install -Dm644 libnewt.so $pkgdir/usr/lib/scilab/libnewt.so option 2: jogl from AUR. Last time I checked scilab crashes with this library and I don't know if it installes libraries in a folder where scilab looks for. Probably we would need to edit paths in librarypath.xml.

MatejSpindler, how did you install that file?

@taotedice I had similar problems. My problem was I didn't have libgluegen2-rt.so and it's dependencies installed.

Thanks for the update. The package seems to compile witout error on my machine. Scinotes, Help and Xcos are functional, while Demonstrations and ATOMS module manager are not. The Scilab-5.4.1 binary package (downloaded from the Scilab web site) has complete functionality (all modules work) on my machine.

Igot this error when compiling: Problem when exporting Xcos schema /tmp/yaourt-tmp-diegonimus/aur-scilab/src/scilab-5.4.1/modules/xcos/help/en_US/solvers/../../../demos/Kalman.xcos ! java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException Warning: the macro loadmatfile is used in an example and is undocumented (load.xml).

Correction: the graphics-type demonstrations will not run. Example => -->exec('/usr/share/scilab/modules/graphics/demos/bezier/bezier3dtest.sce', -1) !--error 4 Undefined variable: bezier3d at line 6 of function bezier3dtest called by : bezier3dtest(); at line 20 of exec file called by : exec('/usr/share/scilab/modules/graphics/demos/bezier/bezier3dtest.sce', -1)

The current version 5.4.1-4 builds and runs. The 'Scilab Demonstrations' button, accessible from the toolbar (gear icon) does not launch the demonstration gui. However, the demonstrations do run, when located individually.
