I read, that there was a problem with data alignment in the Scilab under Linux. For details read: http://x32.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=589930016&search=thread&CONTEXT=957862085.2010841139&HIT_CONTEXT=957861990.2011627534&hitnum=1 Or enter the dejanews and search for "+Scilab +alignment" in the complete archive. To summarize it shortly - you need to add the -malign-double option in fortran compiler options (the FC_OPTIONS variable). -- HTH Wojciech M.
