Hello Community,

I am trying to compile Scilab (http://www.scilab.org/index.php) from source on my Debian AMD 64. After unpacking the tarball, i get the following error running ./configure:

no1:/usr/local/clustertools/pacotes/scilab-4.0# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/clustertools/scilab --exec-prefix=/usr/local/clustertools/scilab/bin/ --with-tcl-library='/usr/lib64/tcl8.4' --with-tk-library='/usr/lib64/tk8.4' --with-tcl-include=/usr/include --with-tk-include=/usr/include

checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
creating Path.incl
configuration of libtool
checking for gcc... gcc
...... ( lots of OK stuff...

Hi João,

Why not simply use the Debian packages of Scilab?
http://packages.debian.org/scilab
http://packages.debian.org/scilab-bin
http://packages.debian.org/scilab-doc

(Note they are in non-free so you'll need to have that in your
sources.list in order to apt-get install them.)

If you're running testing, Scilab binary packages don't appear to be
available yet. But you can try downloading and manually installing the
ones from Sid with "dpkg -i" -- Sid and Etch aren't too different at the
moment. If that doesn't work, you can probably build .debs in Etch
using the Debian source package from Sid, in the usual way:
