[SOLVED] Installed Scilab, can't use Xcos

Hello.
I have installed Scilab with a regular pacman -S.
I can start Scilab and use its main functions. But when I try to use Xcos, I get this message:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/libjhdf5.so: libhdf5.so.6: no se puede abrir el fichero del objeto compartido: No existe el fichero o el directorio (that's in english something like: can't open file or directory, because it doesn't exist)

Se esperaba la versión [1, 8, 4] ; se obtuvo la versión [0, 0, 0] . (version [1,8,4] expected; version [0,0,0] obtained]
while executing a callback

Any ideas on the problem.
Thanks in advance.

Please use [ code ] tags, not [ quote ] tags for posting snippets of code.

Run

LC_ALL=C <command>

to get output in English.
If you enabled C locale, it should work.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24195 sounds similar to your problem.

Re: [SOLVED] Installed Scilab, can't use Xcos

Hi Karol.
I'll consider the code/quote thing next time.
As stated in the link you gave, the AUR version does work without problems, so I desisted trying to figure out what happened with the version in the repos and am now using the AUR one.
Thank you.
