Thanks to both you and Calixte.
Unfortunately, after the build completes, there _is no_ "share/"
directory under /usr/local/src/scilab-master-1286272063/

What _is_ true is that after I do "make install" in
   /usr/local/src/scilab-master-1286272063/
a /usr/local/share/scilab directory is created (along with directories
   in /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/include, &c.

But then "/usr/local/share/scilab/" contains no Makefiles.  Just the
stuff that was built.  I've built a few times now (just for fun. :-)
Sometimes the ".bin", "lib", and "names" files get installed in
/usr/local/share/scilab/modules/*/macros/ and sometimes they don't.  In
no cases do I explicit set SCI since I don't know yet what to set it to.

When the above files don't get installed, I go into
/usr/local/src/scilab-master-1286272063/modules and `make install' from
there, which seems to force the install of those files into the above
directies.  Not sure if I've done something wrong.

And I'm still not clear on what my $SCI directory is. :-)
