<pre>Yes, it is. It is free software. You can download it at www.scilab.org. Please,
take version 5.5.2 (<a href="http://www.scilab.org/en/download/previous">http://www.scilab.org/en/download/previous</a>) since the
latest version (6) is young and has some problems on its own.
Once you have downloaded it, just unpack it in some dir. Then,
1) try simply starting. There is a bin dir, with the scilab executable in in.
With nouveau on my hardware I already get issues at this point.
2) If it starts, you get an application window which may include multiple
panels ( I do not remember if on a fresh install you have multiple panels or
just one). One of the panels is the Scilab Console. In it write
plot([0 0], [1 1])
and see what happens.
Most likely, you will get an empty plot and a java exception.</pre>
