Hi, I am having a problem on Debian Squeeze. Below is the command line output when entering scilab and executing: scipad().
(BTW: you mention unzipped directory in the installation instructions, whereas the actually installation uses the .".zip" file.)
I selected Priority "important" but it is really not immediate for me; but others might find it important. Sorry about the font change below. I don't know where it came from. I can send it or other information as attachments if it's annoying.

Thanks for your report.
Unfortunately I can't reproduce this issue with Debian (6.0) Squeeze 32 bits Linux running Scilab 5.3.2.
Are you fully sure this is due to Scipad? I have seen such java crashes a lot of times in Scilab 5 alone. Do you get this problem with just Scilab 5 installed and no Scipad version, or did you start obtaning this crash as soon as you installed Sipad?
Concerning your BTW remark:
I think you were confused between instructions for Scilab 5 and instructions for Scicoslab.
I don't think instructions for Scilab 5 mentions unzipping:

Thanks for the reply.
I will do some further research into the java. As I recall, I did
have the problem with Scilab 5.x.x but I reported it and I think they
fixed it. It seems to work fine now. I have the emails and such. It
was a little subtle. I don't trust the reference to icedtea below since
I install sun java. I can try to run strace. I am running x86_64.
For unzipped: look a section 4
this only once), replacing <MYDIR> by the folder where you unzipped the
package, and X.YY by the Scipad version number:
The second line.
Thanks again for the prompt response. Hopefully I will be able to get
back to you by tomorrow.

Right, but somewhere the difficulty with scilab 5.2.2 64-bit should be
mentioned (?).

We just applied the security fix
which introduced this bug,
unfortunately without the follow-up fix.
We'll fix this out shortly.
