I've finally found a version that mostly works (some menu problems, see below). I've tried the latest 32 bits branches-5.1 nightly build and the interface appears. So, here's a summary of the versions I tried and the result I've got :

- any 64 bits version : no window appearing, nothing.

- 5.1.1 32 bits gives this error :
/Produits/publics/x86_64.Linux.2.6.9/scilab/5.1.1/bin/scilab-bin: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /Produits/publics/x86_64.Linux.2.6.9/scilab/5.1.1/lib/scilab/libscifileio.so.5)

- scilab-branches-5.1-1249763895 32 bits works, but there are some bugs with the menus. If I click a menu it opens, but I can't select anything, and it disappears as soon as I release the mouse button. If I right click, hold the button, move the mouse in the menu and then release the button, the menu stays open and I can select entries by moving the mouse over them, click them with the right mouse button. After I click anything, I'm back to the original behavior and need to do the right mouse button trick to use the menus.
