Hi,

> Hello all, I've got scilab to compile and atlas on 6.0. I assume you got complaints about missing .a libraries? At least that was one of the problems I had, in the end I compiled atlas-devel not atlas as it is broken! I also had to make static libraries so you would issue the following command in /usr/ports/math/atlas-devel
> make -DWITH_STATICLIB install
> do NOT type clean (see below) or you will have to recompile the atlas libs.

Thank you, that worked perfectly for me.

> Next go into scilab directory and make that, it will happily compile to a point and then complain about missing libraries in /usr/local/lib. I'm sorry but I cannot remember exactly what the libraries were now. Anyway update your locate database (sh /etc/periodic/weekly/310.locate). Once this is done type locate {whatever the missing files are}, you will find them in the atlas-devel directory. copy them over to /usr/local/lib. Reenter the scilab directory and it should compile with no more problems

Thank you again. After compiling atlas-devel I compiled scilab with no
problems. In my case I did not have any complaints about missing
libraries.
