<div dir="ltr">Thank you Adam, your answer helped a lot!<div><br></div><div>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: <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572">http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>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.</div>
<div><br></div><div>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).</div>

<div>As one data point, it runs fine for me. I am on 10.9.2 and didn’t do anything other then download it and when I double click on the application it runs fine. You might look in your Console to see what errors you get there.</div>

<br>
Does anyone got the binary version of scilab 5.5.0 running under OS X Mavericks?<br>

Error checking symlink for the target jvm.<br>

</div>
<div>Copying the "libjava.jnilib" from my JVM directory into "/Applications/scilab-5.5.0.app/Contents/MacOS/thirdparty/java//lib//libjava.jnilib" seems to remove the first error (not sure that's the best way to do it though) however the second (see last line
of the console output) stays. It seems the problem already occurred before Mavericks... is that problem solved, now? What I found was not helpful.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Installing the last jvm from oracle did not change anything either (well except the path to the jdk in the console output just before the point scilab is hanging up).</div>
