</span>I tried changing the thirdparty/java link to point to my system java<br>
and/or moving the lib/thirdparty/libz* files as suggested in the<br>
bugzilla discussion but got exactly the same results as reported by<br>
adhefe (is that you?). I also tried completely uninstalling all<br>
system java packages and so just relying on the scilab-6.0.0 tarfile<br>
java but the error message remains as I reported initially.<br>
Reinstalling the system java didn't change anything either (which BTW<br>
is 8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.17.10.2).<br>

</span>Unfortunately Ubuntu 17.10 still seems to be on Scilab 5.5.2. I tried<br>
compiling the latest source from git but get stuck during ./configure<br>
with something else I don't understand:-<br>
<br>
configure: error: ARPACK library found, but seems not to work<br>
properly. Please make sure you are using arpack-ng<br>
<br>
Not sure if this is a known problem, haven't had chance to go into it yet.<br>
