[scilab-Users] Re: cannot get any Scilab 5.x version starting on my Intel iMac

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Thanks for the feedback.
By the way, some users reported an incompatibility caused by Audio
Hijack.

Scilab 5.3.0 won't be available under Mac OS X 10.5 due to a recent
update from Apple. We are working on it but it is pretty tricky...

I just tried the 5.3.0-beta-5 and that version crashes instead of hangs.  I'm not sure if that's in improvement or not.  Maybe, because at least I got an error message in the crash report which was this:
