installing latest scilab (5.5.1) version on udoo

HI all,

I've installed scilab on udoo using

sudo apt-get install scilab

which installs version 5.3.3.

How can I upgrade scilab to the latest stable version 5.5.1 or alternatively reinstall latest version.

Any help is very much welcome.

Thanks.

 

HI there - thx for your reply.

so I've tried to compile Scilab from the source file aswell as the prerequirements.
To deal with the dependancies, after using sudo apt-get update I tried sudo apt-get build-dep scilab.

So far so good , then installed gfortran, java jdk 1.8 (as described in Udoo FAQ).

Then added the line deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ precise main restricted universe multiverse
in /etc/apt/sources.list

sudo apt-get update again

now ./configure wants to see jogl installed.

Any ideas here - can't get it to work.

as you can see I'm a complete novice in linux&udoo.

Thanks.

 

HI there,

When I try to compile from scilab from source I get to the libjogl (dependancy) problem.
Installing the binary and adding:
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian jessie main
to /etc/apt/sources.list and run sudo apt-get update crashes the OS and I need to reinstall it.

Is there no other way perhabs to update the lubuntu software center so that scilab 5.5.X not 5.5.3 lists as an option?

Thanks for any help !

 

hi,
here's the error I get when trying to compile scilab on the UDOO from source:

apt-get build-dep scilab
for the dependancies gives not error.

Trying ./configure it hangs on the following error:
libjogl: LIbrary missing (cannot find symbol gLTextParameterf). Check if libjogl - C/Java (JNI) interface for JOGL2 - or libGL (OpenGl library) are installed and if the version is correct. Note you may have to update etc/librarypath.xml to provide path to JNI librarier.

How can I install JOGL2 or libGL and update the librarypath.xml correctly?

THANK YOU!

 

I've tried the synaptic package manager before I find libjogl2-java and try to install it:

error: could not apply changes . fix broken packages first.

Edit->Fix broken packages and it reads:

unable to correct problem you have held broken packages.
unable to correct dependencies:Error , pkgProblemResolver: Resolve generated breaks, this may be cause by held packages.

Then tried:

apt-get install -f
apt-get clean
apt-get auto clean
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get dist-upgrade

Then:

sudo apt-get install libjogl2-java
error:

The following packages have umnet dependencies:

sudo aptitude install libjogl2-java
-> same error
