Origin

ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/Projects/Meta2/Scilab/scilab-2.4- src.tar.gz

An unofficial ppc patch was created:

scilab-2.4-ppc.patch
to build SCILAB on MkLinux/LinuxPPC.

How to Build Scilab from SRC

The RPM building procedure is described in its spec file:
scilab.spec

You can rebuild the RPM using its corresponding SRPM as:

# rpm --rebuild <somewhere>/ scilab-2.4-1a.src.rpm
Your can skip this step, if you use the prebuilt binary RPM.

Though the binary RPM package is built without "libmoto" for license reason, you may want to build a private version with "libmoto". In that case, replace "-lm" by "-lmoto -lm" wherever you find "-lm" in the link flags.

Installation Instructions

# rpm -Uvh <somewhere>/scilab-2.4-1a.ppc.rpm

Try

$ export SCI=/opt/scilab
$ export PATH=$PATH:$SCI/bin
$ scilab
and hit the "Demos" button to popup a menu. Click any one to see the demo.

Caution: The package is not yet tested intensively. As usual, use it at your own risk.
