You don't need an rpm. Just go to the scilab homepage

http://scilabsoft.inria.fr/

and download the Scilab-3.0 binary file version for Linux. After uncompressing it just type make and make install as root (it is already compiled). This worked for me.

Not a good idea. SuSE is an rpm based system and your method does not update the rpm database. A better idea would be to install the blas rpm available on the SuSE install disks or download direct from SuSE.

It seemed from her e-mail that the SuSE rpms didn't work so that's why I suggested the binary install since it worked fine when I tried it. Brana
