>Description:
	Scilab has a built in editor. When trying to launch it the
following error message appears:

Shared object "libtk8.4.so" not found, required by "scilex"
Shared object "libtk8.4.so.0" not found, required by "scilex"
Warning: Error loading libtk8.4.so :"link: the shared archive was not
loaded" !--error 4 
undefined variable : tklib                   
at line      27 of function gettklib called by :  
line    17 of function scipad called by :  
scipad();(1)
while executing a callback

and the editor does not start.

>How-To-Repeat:
Start scilab with the "scilab" command.

Click on the "editor" button.

>Fix:

Make a symbolic link: "libtk8.4.so" -> "libtk84.so"
