[Scilab-users] Scilab on Mavericks with Java 7?

[Ricardo Fabbri]

Hi,

Here are some things you can try (all with nightly build or the latest
source code from the master branch)

1) You can try setting up your environment and Scilab to use Java 7.
On a terminal, have you tried:
  export JAVA_HOME=`/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7`
  SCIVERBOSE=1 scilab

(also, what message do you get in the terminal when you simply run "scilab"?)

2) Perhaps the workaround in this link can help you, as I've needed it
to get scilab to run on my macbook pro:
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13087

3) You can try compiling Scilab, here are my notes which has been
tested on OSX Mavericks http://wiki.nosdigitais.teia.org.br/Scilab

PS: To understand Java and OSX there is this link

Hope this can help,
