I'm rather a newbie to Linux and to building Scilab, so I have the feeling that my issue might be trivial. However, I couldn't find a solution after several hours searching the web and this email list archive.
I successfully built scilab from sources using the master branch as of 2017/02/10. I can start scilab from the scilab/bin subfolder of the folder where I have built scilab using ./configure and make, which finished without errors. Now, I want to install it to the Ubuntu 16.10 tree using sudo make install, which finishes without errors (without sudo, I get access errors). When I now start scilab by typing "scilab &" in a terminal, there are no error messages, but the scilab gui doesn't appear. By typing "ps -A | grep sci", I see two running processes, named "scilab" and "scilab-bin", which I have to kill manually. Why is the scilab window not shown, as it is the case when executed from the build folder? During build, I only added --without-modelica option to ./configure Do I have to add further options to ./configure? Do I have to modify some access rights? Are libraries missing? However, in the last two cases, I thought that configure, make and make install should manage that. So it is related to Ubuntu 16.10 or am I just blind and stupid?
