Hi,

I have the same problem here, but I don't know where is 
$SCILAB_HOME_bin/lib. I have already installed Scilab debian package through

$ apt-get install scilab

and also got the dependencies

$ apt-get build-dep scilab

and also got the libhdf5 debian package but can' t find libhdf5.so.6.

Thanks,
