In ATOMS, the flag indicating /Supported Scilab versions/ is set to ">= 
5.5":
https://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/visa/0.9.0
Despite 6.0> 5.5, the flag ">=5.5" excludes Scilab >=6.0

This has been reported here http://bugzilla.scilab.org/13891 and there 
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/13938 (proposal).
This behavior is apparently intentional, i guess to compel modules 
maintainers to review and regenerate specific releases for Scilab >= 6.0
This should deserve to explicitly warn modules maintainers about that.

If the 0.9.0 release has been compiled for Scilab 6.0 -- has it ? --, 
then it can't run under Scilab 5.5

I am afraid that these explanations do not help much.
