[Scilab-users] Scilab 5.5.0 fails to start on Mac 10.9.4

[watsodw]

When I run Scilab-5.5.0.app I get the following error:

"JavaVM: requested Java version (1.5) not available. Using Java at
"/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home" instead.
Could not create a Scilab main class. Error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

Scilab cannot create Scilab Java Main-Class (we have not been able to find
the main Scilab class. Check if the Scilab and thirdparty packages are
available)."

Why does Scilab look for a certain Java version?

If I run  scilab-cli-bin from the terminal I get:

dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib
  Referenced from:
/Users/dwwatson/desktop/scilab-5.5.0.app/contents/macos/bin/scilab-cli-bin
  Reason: Incompatible library version: scilab-cli-bin requires version
12.0.0 or later, but libxml2.2.dylib provides version 10.0.0
Trace/BPT trap

even though libxml2.2.dylib from Macports is in my path before
/usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib.


I can run scilab-cli from the terminal and it works.
