[Scilab-users] scilab 5.5.0 binary running under Mac OS X.9 Mavericks, anyone?

[Nicolas FEZANS]

Thank you Adam, your answer helped a lot!

Indeed, I had the apple jdk in version 1.6.0_43-b01-447 and you said that
you have the apple jdk in version 1.6.0_65-b14-462-11M4609, so your version
was slightly newer than mine. So I went to look at the download pages on
the Apple website and look for a more recent update (not all updates seem
to go through the Mac App Store app) and found that one:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

So after I downloaded it and installed it... voilà ! Scilab is now starting
and seems (at least at first) to work properly. My guess would be that the
difference between both versions is not causing this difference of behavior
directly, but rather that the installer of the update somehow restored some
links or symlinks that were not configured properly (or as Scilab expected
them to be) before.

Looking at the console output, the libjava.jnilib is still being searched
within the scilab app bundle and could not be found. I am not sure whether
this will have some consequences. Scilab also request version 1.5 but
finally accepted to use the new version of 1.6 it could find. Just as a
reminder version 1.8 from Oracle was also not found by Scilab (would that
now be the case? well maybe I'll try that some of these days).

Did you install the system locales?

JavaVM: requested Java version (1.5) not available. Using Java at
"/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home" instead.


Starting Scilab by clicking on the app bundle icon results in Scilab
starting (probably with the same errors/warnings in the background but the
users do not get to see them).

So to sum up: it seems the problem was solved by applying the latest apple
java update. Thanks once again and I hope this might help others, if I was
not the only Mavericks user with that issue.


Yours sincerely,
Nicolas
