...scilab only runs as root, quitting withYes, this is a permission problem. Scilab writes a history log into ~/scilab.hist in your home directory. Sometimes during the installation of Scilab, this file gets created with root as its owner. It should be owned by you.
"write start: can't write file
apparent state: unit 1 named /Volumes/Storage/Users/user/scilab.hist
last format: (a)
lately writing sequential formatted external IO
/sw/bin/scilab: line 205: 2312 Abort trap $SCI/bin/scilex $*
So do "ls -l ~/scilab.hist" to see the permissions, and
sudo chown user ~/scilab.hist
to fix it.
BTW, this same problem appears often with other files as well, causing sometimes errors that are hard to detect. Examples I have seen are
.tcsh_history, .qt, .TeXmacs. Best to check with "ls -la ~" and look hard at anything not owned by you.
