Hi Nikolay,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I followed the instructions you linked to,
and succeeded in installing 6.0.0 from bionic, but unfortunately I
still get the same problem on startup:-

Cannot find this look and feel:
[GTK look and feel - com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel] not
supported on this platform
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I also tried 'scilab -nwni' to verify it was 6.0.0 I was running:-

Scilab 6.0.0 (Feb 14 2017, 12:49:55)

--> quit

So now I'm not sure what to try :-(
