/modules/core/macros/lib missing after compiling sources

Hello there,
I've got a problem running SciLab on my Mac.
I tried to use the binary, but it didn't work, it couldn't find
scipad, so I hoped that it could work with the sources. I downloaded
them and compiled them, using "--without-pvm --without-hdf5" as
settings for ./configure( and of course the right prefix) and now,
running the binary that it created in the "bin" directory, the usual
scilab window opens, but there's an error occurring:
load('SCI/modules/core/macros/lib');
!--error 241
File 'SCI/modules/core/macros/lib' doesn't exist or restricts acces.
at line 11 of exec file called by :
+modules(i)+".start",-1)
line 100 of exec file called by :
exec('SCI/etc/scilab.start',-1);;
After that, the usual prompt appears and I can, as far as I tested it,
use the program in a usual way( well, I can define Variables,
Functions, I can use for example rand module) but I cannot start
scipad, for example. If I try, I get: "Error 4: Undefined Variable:
scipad"...
But there's something else missing: That bar, on top of the window,
that usually appears, where you can choose scipad, cut, copy and that
kind of stuff, I think that is the "javasci" element(to me, it seemed
to be java), that bar doesn't exist. I did not set the "--without-
javasci" option.
Does anyone have an idea, where that bar went? I would be quite
interested in having it.
But back to the original problem: I looked into the directory it
called, and found that there is no lib directory. There's a bunch
of .sci's and .bin's and that's it. I didn't get any error messages of
configure, make and make install that had any connection with core/lib
or something like this.
Well, I had the idea, that the problem could easily be solved by
simply downloading the file and it's contents from somewhere, but I
didn't find anything on web...
Does anyone have an idea, why file wasn't created during compile?
Thank you in advace
