Hi,
I have installed Scilab 6.0.1 directly from TW but the application is not starting up.
During installation an error show “nothing provides java=10 for scilab6.0.1”
can anyone help?
Cheers
Not sure how well scilab would work, but the following is what I did to successfully install scilab, avoiding many, many pitfalls…
Note you cannot use the YaST installer, you must download the RPM to your machine first.
Download the openjdk 10 runtime RPM from the link below(Link is from https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/Java%3AFactory/java-10-openjdk which itself is hard to find, not showing up consistently in a software search)
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Java:/Factory/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/x86_64/java-10-openjdk-10.0.2.0-2.18.x86_64.rpm
Then install
zypper in ~/Downloads/java-10-openjdk-10.0.2.0-2.18.x86_64.rpm
The install will complain about a missing dependency, java-10-openjdk-headless… Select option 2 which is to ignore some dependencies.
Because you’re installing an RPM not from a configured repo, the install will also complain about a missing GPG key, choose “ignore”
The install will proceed and automatically select the headless package for openjdk 1.8.
Your requirement should now be med, you can now install scilab.

I followed your solution but still have issue with scilab.
Installed on other distros and had the same Java warning but working fine.
Is there anything else I can do to fix this issue on TW?
Thanks
I think so. No such problem here. Have openjdk:
erlangen:~ # zypper se --installed-only jdk

You shouldn’t just view what is installed,
Better would be to identify what java is actually being used,
Two commoncommands I’ve used are
which java
update-alternatives --config java
It may also be that scilab currently does not support java-openjdk-11 so you’d have to install java-openjdk-10 and then use the "update-alternatives command above to set whichever java you want your system to use.
TSU
erlangen:~ # which java
/usr/bin/java
erlangen:~ # update-alternatives --config java
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

Scilab does run the demos, e.g. simulations > n-pendulum …

OK,
I see that you may be seeing your error when <running> scilab whereas I only tested enough to install.
Most times when I see that error, the Java environmental variables (eg JAVA_HOME) aren’t set correctly, oftentimes you need to insert export statements in your bashrc, or the system profile.
Update— As I was writing this, I was also doing a little document search.
Assuming that your java path is set incorrectly, I think the following page should allow you to inspect what path is currently set and if it needs to be modified, for you to do sol.

Adn this is Scilab installation:
EWS:/home/shahram # zypper in scilab
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
‘scilab’ is already installed.
No update candidate for ‘scilab-6.0.2-1.2.x86_64’. The highest available version is already installed.
Resolving package dependencies…
Nothing to do.
This was interesting point. I have checked my bashrc and added :
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/jvm/java-11-openjdk-11
However the situation is as before. Scilab up and running but Xcos part is not working and cause closing app error.
What you did would be the generic solution for most apps.
Scilab appears to be different.
See the link I provided you.
And, it’s good to see that your latest post verified my suspicion that this error is thrown only when running specific Scilab apps (Java related) and not Scilab generally.

Thanks for the help. I think for time being I will use Scilab directly from the source as it works file with no issue.
I tried Demos > Xcos > Standard Demos > Simple Demo and got (among others):
javax.xml.bind.JAXBException: Implementation of JAXB-API has not been found on module path or classpath.
This is a well known issue: jaxb - How to resolve java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/xml/bind/JAXBException - Stack Overflow
