Bugzilla Bug 20263

On April 30th 2003 I tried to build scilab 2.6 on a fresh and updated Gentoo
1.4
box.
Everything seemed to go fine. However when I tried to run scilab nothing
happened. I check on /usr/bin/scilab and discovered that this was a link to
nothing. The directory /usr/lib/scilab-2.6 supposedling containing the real
scilab binary being not there.

gcc 3.2.2 based system. glibc 2.3.1. Gentoo Linux kernel 2.4.20.
CFLAGS="-O3 -march=pentium2 -pipe"

I tried again to rebuild scilab and saw then that some fortran code generated
warnings. I don't know if it has had any impact on the missing directory
though.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge scilab
2. try to run scilab with the command 'scilab'
3. check the existence of /usr/lib/scilab-2.6

Actual Results:  
'scilab' did nothing. /usr/bin/scilab being a link to the real scilab binary in
the missing /usr/lib/scilab-2.6 directory. There is nothing surprising there...

Expected Results:  
A working scilab....

I choose the blocker severity option. I cannot use scilab, I think it
corresponds well to the definition of "blocker"

fixed in cvs

So how do I do from emerge?
Is there a special command I am supposed to use?
Is there a scilab-2.7 that would solve the problem?
Can't the patch(es) be applied to the stable tree (2.6)?

Fixed in cvs means that this ebuild was fixed in main cvs repository and it
will take ~30 minutes when it's available @ rsync servers... so emerge sync and
emerge scilab to rebuild it...
