[Scilab-users] scilab 6 - Does not start on Mac OS X 10.8.4

[Adam Dershowitz]

The /sw folder is where fink, the package manager, keeps all of its stuff.  What the message below means is that the build that you are using includes the libcurl library.  But, that library was built to search for libcares.2.dylib in /sw which you obviously don't have.
I don't know an easy fix.  But, a few options:  1)  Report the bug for this development version, as it is unlikely that anyone can run that binary, unless they have separately installed the correct library.
2)  Build that library for yourself from here:  http://c-ares.haxx.se/ and then copy, or link it, to the correct location.
3)  Build that library yourself using a package manager, such as fink (which seems like what was done for the provided binary) or using macports (which is a similar package manager).

Subject: [Scilab-users] scilab 6 - Does not start on Mac OS X 10.8.4

Hello,

I have been running Scilab 5.4.1 on my Macbook Pro under ML 10.8.4 without any major issues.

Today I tried Scilab 6 and I receive the errors listed below. The error states that a library is missing in the folder /sw/... I do not have any /sw/ directory on root?

Does anyone know a simple fix? ...could not find much by googling, either.
Any hints & help is highly appreciated.

I have the OS X Java 2013-04 and the Oracle JRE 1.7. 25 installed...

Thank you for your help.
Wil.
