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

[Sylvestre Ledru]

The problem you are experiencing with the master is different from the
one described before. 
In Scilab 5.3.0, we will introduce a parallel function (parallel_run)
for multithread computation. We have to improve the Mac OS X binary
(libgomp.1.dylib sounds missing from it).

Thanks for reporting this issue.

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.
