Indeed, this is not a necessary change in the Debian packaging, because we do not provide the Java interface anyway. Moreover, it seems that this is a gcj bug. I had gcj in my manual build environment, the configure script detected it, and used it. That is why I said earlier that we might consider disabling it manually, instead of relying on automatic detection by the configure script. > > * A second FTBFS occurs afterwards in the file > > ./routines/Javasci/javasci_SciStringArray.c, see the attached > > build log. > Java is not mandatory in Scilab.

Yes, this is probably due to wrong headers, thought I did not search deeper when I read Torsten's feedback on it, i.e. we do not use it. :) > > * A FTBFS occurs via the oom-killer during the use of the freshly > > built ./bin/scilab binary to generate HTML documentation, see the > > attached build log. > I saw that bug before : > http://www.scilab.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla_bug_II/show_bug.cgi?id=1483 > I forwarded this error to the Scilab Mailing list. Sure, this is now the real bug which happens on both Etch and Sid on alpha architecture. However, it happens at an early stage in scilab (when you launch it), so it probably has something to do with either wrong compiled code for alpha (it would be a gcc bug) or an architecture-specific quirk. I am currently investigating the issue with gdb... Cheers, -- .''`. Aurélien GÉRÔME : :' : `. `'` Free Software Developer `- Unix Sys & Net Admin
