[scilab-Users] Problems on MacOSX Snow Leopard - Scilab not starting

[Jeff DuMonthier]

There is too much on my iMac to make a list, but the only thing there that looks at all familiar is Garmin Training Center.  I have the Garmin communicator plugin as well as some of the mapping programs to work with my Garmin GPS.

I've been trying the master builds occasionally and the last couple are crashing on launch for a different reason now.  The console log looks like this:

A typical setup is that it works on a MacBook while it is not working on an iMac. This is also the case in my setup. In my setup, I can run Scilab without any problem on my MacBook Air. On my iMac I have the problem of "the hanging java logo". I can start Scilab on the iMac if I add the parameter -nogui.

My proposal is that people experiencing the same problem (works on one machine, but not on the other) post here a list of software that is installed on the machine where it doesn't run, but NOT on the machine, where it runs. Maybe we can find some similarities and track the problem down.
