cannot run Scilab

jazmiel · December 11, 2013, 2:12pm

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 appreciatedlol!

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 lol!
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.

ierturk · January 14, 2014, 6:06am

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/repositories/home:/ierturk:/scilab2014/openSUSE_13.1/ SCILAB2014

OR

by using YaST

Hope to it is useful.

It is (at least for me). Nice job ierturk!

Thanks,

@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.

I tried that but Yast gives an error:

An error occurred during repository initialization.

Are you trying the tinyurl or the long one? Should be the long one.

The url was shown as http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...openSUSE_13.1/ and i copy pasted that. When using the full url the repo works.
I still get an error when trying to run Scilab though:

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

Apparently you do not have a java installed on your system, and the rpm
you installed does not have a dependency on it, so that it would have
you required to install one automatically.

It has that dependency


martinh@ganymed:~> rpm -q --requires scilab | grep java
javahelp2
libjava.so()(64bit)
martinh@ganymed:~>

and it works well here (I installed this afternoon from that repo).

@LinAGKar
How exactly did you install it?
A “zypper in scilab” should have installed all the dependencies.

Oh. Then something else failed.

Did you run scilab-bin? This is not the way to start it, run scilab,
scilab-cli (if you want no gui, without java support), scilab-adv-cli
(if you want no gui but java support).

I do have java installed and I am running “scilab”. “scilab-adv-cli” gives the same error, though not “scilab-cli”.

PattiMichelle · September 21, 2014, 5:49am

Same here - this is scilab 5.5 from the opensuse “science” repo:

patti@OS123B:~> scilab-cli

…seems unusual to have a repo software install fail. I just did a distribution upgrade 12.3 -> 13.1 x64
