Here, the problem is because you haven't installed java hdf5.

I don't understand your point.

I am trying once more my question, why are you not using the official
binary ?
http://www.scilab.org/products/scilab/download
it is providing an out-of-box fully functional Scilab.

If you are are using the packaged version of Scilab by Opensuse and you
are experiencing these issue, please report them on the opensuse bug
tracker. The maintainer is usually reactive.
