cannot run Scilab

[jazmiel]

Hola
I just made a clean install in a new laptop of opensuse 13.1 and began adding the programs that I normally use. I have Scilab running in another machine but can't get it working in this laptop.
According to the "Readme" file, all you need to do is to untar the tarball and, in command line, type (after moving to the Scilab directory):
./bin/scilab
When I do that I obtain this reply:
scilab-bin: /home/antonio/scilab/lib/thirdparty/libz.so.1: version `ZLIB_1.2.3.4' not found (required by /usr/lib64/libpng16.so.16)

I already checked that the library is installed in the system, nonetheless the message keeps showing.

Any help will be greatly appreciated

You might try the version for 12.3 found here:

Code:

It is a link for reading, mostly. You can try the "1 click install" link
further on.

Hola
I did the one-click install; moved to the directory where it was deposited (/usr/bin/scilab) and when i type 'scilab' to execute the program i get this message:

/usr/bin/scilab-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libtk8.5.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I donot know how to solve this. I wonder if this has to do anything with opensuse 13.1. I mean, I installed Scilab in Linux Mint Debian without any issue and is running as expected. Maybe, I think, I have to wait for a newer version of Scilab so it can run in opensuse. Am I right?

Anyway, I thank you very much your time, advice and support

Saludos

I had the same problem with openSUSE 13.1 and Scilab 5.4.1 and 5.3.3.

The 5.4.1 worked fine in openSUSE 12.2...

There is the bug #13145 in https://bugzilla.scilab.org/, but I have tried the solution indicated there without success.

Hope someone find a solution.

Hi,

Scilab-5.4.1 can be installed by adding my repo scilab2014 for openSUSE-13.1 as follow

$sudo zypper ar  http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...openSUSE_13.1/ SCILAB2014

OR

by using YaST

Hope to it is useful.

@Jazmiel:
Perhaps they were indeed right back here.
I don't know if you already solved it, but I have faith in what it's said in this other site. Can make a bit of sense...

Hi Kalten, Sounds good. Thanks.
