Hi Stefan,
Did you really, as suggested Samuel, copy the content of your previous
6.1 SCIHOME into the 6.1.1 SCIHOME, which could explain the initial
error messge ?

Hello and many thanks for your replies!
Samuel,
Unfortunately, deleting SCIHOME/configuration.xml did not help (I have
a vague memory that it worked previously). I agree with all your later
comments.
Stéphane,
my changed line
<Profile name="scilab" version="6.1.1">
gets replaced by
<Profile name="scilab">
so it did not help.
Clément,
Deleting all the configuration files helped, BUT THEN ALL MY OWN
FOLDERS WERE DELETED (a regression?)! Therefore all the changes I had
made in my functions were lost!
Regards
Stefan

Hi Stéphane, hi Samuel, hi all,
The idea behind SCIHOME is to have a version specific directory to
avoid any issues when upgrading from Scilab versions to Scilab
versions ; IMHO implementing an upgrade for files stored into this
directory is for me a non-sense ; the upgrade could be done manually
(as Samuel described) for the few users that copy the files between
SCIHOMEs.

Hi,
The version of Scilab which generated the configuration.xml should be
contained in some attribute of the top level element, i.e.
<Profile name="scilab" version="6.1.1">
This would allow to trigger a proper upgrade of the file when the
Scilab version differs or a regeneration if the file cannot be upgraded.

Hello Stefan,
This kind of error might arise when the content of the SCIHOME
directory of a previous scilab version is copied into the SCIHOME of
the current 6.1.1 version, for instance to avoid respecifying all
users preferences.
Unfortunately, when the template of some configuration file is
changed from one version to the next one, the file must be
regenerated.
The issue should be fixed either by deleting the
SCIHOME/configuration.xml file, and regenerating it automatically
from scratch (quit Scilab and rerun it),
or by editing it and changing or adding the line just before the
</Profile> one, for instance with
<HelpBrowserindex="scatter3d" lang="en_US"/>
</Profile>
Regards
Samuel

Hello,
when starting Scilab 6.1.1 with
$ /usr/local/scilab/scilab-6.1.1/bin/scilab
I get the message:

in Ubuntu Linux after a successful (apart from this)
installation from
scilab-6.1.1.bin.linux-x86_64.tar.gz
What can I do?
