For now, Scilab 5.3.0 is not available under Mac OS X 10.5. 
It is "normal". Apple pushed an important update in their Java packaging
system. 

Anyway, during this update, under Mac OS x 10.5, they broke a feature
Scilab is built on (used also under GNU/Linux and Windows) 
We are in touch with Apple on this subject but we cannot predict when
it is going to be fixed or when we will be able to use a workaround.
