Hi, I finally found some time to have a look and tried to reproduce the issue with scilab-plotlib, but I get a different problem:
SCI_DISABLE_TK=1 SCI_JAVA_ENABLE_HEADLESS=1 DOCBOOK_ROOT=/usr/share/sgml/docbook/stylesheet/xsl/nwalsh \ /usr/bin/scilab -nw -f builder.sce Scilab 6.0.0 (Dec 2 2017, 12:18:39) at line 15 of executed file /tmp/scilab-plotlib-0.42/builder.sce error(msprintf(gettext('%s module not installed."),'development_tools')); ^^ Error: Heterogeneous string detected, starting with ' and ending with ". --> And indeed, there is a number of places where such heterogeneous strings appear. When I fixed those, I was hit by: at line 1 of executed string at line 19 of executed file /tmp/scilab-plotlib-0.42/macros/buildmacros.sce at line 13 of function tbx_builder ( /usr/share/scilab/modules/modules_manager/macros/tbx_builder.sci line 26 ) at line 36 of function tbx_builder_macros ( /usr/share/scilab/modules/modules_manager/macros/tbx_builder_macros.sci line 51 ) at line 23 of executed file /tmp/scilab-plotlib-0.42/builder.sce save: Wrong type for input argument #2: A String expected. and it looks like ./macros/buildmacros.sce: execstr(sprintf('save(pathmacros+filesep()+''%s.bin'',%s)',vars(i),vars(i))); Is this code compatible with scilab 6.0.0 ? I'll have a look at scilab-ann and scilab-celestlab too later.
