Scilab combiles and runs fin, as long as I start it from within the git source tree, by executing "bin/scilab" from the terminal. However, if I do a "sudo make install", it wont run anymore, but instead ends up with the following error:

Here, Scilab is complaining about the native library. Beside thirdparty,
we provide also a bin/ directory which contains the native libraries.
You should find a file called libjhdf5.jnilib.

If Scilab works when started from the source tree, I guess you have this
file.
When doing the "make install", it won't copy this file (because it is
not a file Scilab per say).
So, you will have to either:
* update etc/librarypath.xml to add the path to this lib
* copy this library to a Mac OS X standard path .

Hope this helps,
Sylvestre
