[Scilab-Dev] Scilab does not start properly after make install on Ubuntu 16.10

[E_Ben]

I'm rather a newbie to Linux and to building Scilab, so I have the feeling
that my issue might be trivial. However, I couldn't find a solution after
several hours searching the web and this email list archive.

I successfully built scilab from sources using the master branch as of
2017/02/10. I can start scilab from the scilab/bin subfolder of the folder
where I have built scilab using ./configure and make, which finished without
errors. Now, I want to install it to the Ubuntu 16.10 tree using sudo make
install, which finishes without errors (without sudo, I get access errors). 
When I now start scilab by typing "scilab &" in a terminal, there are no
error messages, but the scilab gui doesn't appear. By typing "ps -A | grep
sci", I see two running processes, named "scilab" and "scilab-bin", which I
have to kill manually.

Why is the scilab window not shown, as it is the case when executed from the
build folder? During build, I only added --without-modelica option to
./configure
Do I have to add further options to ./configure? Do I have to modify some
access rights? Are libraries missing? However, in the last two cases, I
thought that configure, make and make install should manage that. So it is
related to Ubuntu 16.10 or am I just blind and stupid?

Thanks for your help,
Erik
