scilab

scilab is not showing any graphical plot


I am new to scilab. I am trying to do a simple 2d plot but unfortunately it is not plotting anything.

When I open scilab and run plot, it shows a window named 'graphic window number 0' but shows no plot.

when I try to run scilab-bin, it shows following error: scilab-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libjava.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I used sudo apt install scilab.

Should I install more packages?


Solution

  • I used sudo apt install scilab.

    If you installed Scilab from (Ubuntu or derivatives) repository it will probably not work. The package is somehow broken (since I can think).

    Quick and dirty: Go to scilab.org, download the tar.gz, decompress it and run the script called "scilab" in the bin-directory.
