Bug#631813: scilab: launch script failure with 32 bits userland and 64 bits kernel

[Laurent Bonnaud]

Package: scilab
Version: 5.2.2-9
Severity: normal


Hi,

on a 32 bits Debian system that runs on a 64 bits kernel (for instance
the linux-image-2.6.32-5-amd64 Debian package), the scilab launch script
fails with this error message:


$ /usr/bin/scilab

Could not load JVM dynamic library (libjava).
Error: libjvm.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory
If you are using a binary version of Scilab, please report a bug
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/.
If you are using a self-built version of Scilab, update the script
bin/scilab to provide the path to the JVM.
The problem might be related to SELinux. Try to deactivate it.

Scilab cannot open JVM library.


A simple workaround is the following command:

$ MODEL=i686 /usr/bin/scilab
