Solving only partially. Now scilab opens and crashes/closes right away. Ditto for xcos

Fixed. Many thanks to curufinwe and eolianoe for their suggestions

@curufinwe: I can confirm that deleting the files make scilab works

# Fix bug: http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15145
+  rm -f -- "${pkgdir}/opt/${_pkgname}/lib/thirdparty/libz.so"*

To run scilab-6.0.0 you should delete zlib* libraries from

scilab-6.0.0/lib/thirdparty

After that scilab will start normally. Information from http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15145

It works for me.

If you just now want to install Scilab, no prior installation, you have to do the following:

  1. Edit the PKGBUILD: pgkver=5.5.2 and sha256sums_x86_64=("SKIP")

  2. Make sure that your default Java version is not java-8-openjdk (plotting failed for me on openjdk8): sudo archlinux-java set java-7-openjdk/jre # or java-7-openjdk or similar, check archlinux-java status to see what you have available

  3. Start Scilab with: _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.installedlafs=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel' /opt/scilab/bin/scilab

  4. Then edit /etc/pacman.conf to IgnorePkg = scilab-bin to avoid having to do this all again later.

As of 2017-10-28 the official binary distribution of scilab does not work. It throws a segmentation fault : bin/scilab: line 957: 31730 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$SCILABBIN" "$@" Updates will follow once this gets fixed upstream

Thanks for the tip to fix that problem, ye_k.

Unfortunately scilab-bin 5.5.2-1 doesn't work properly. To be more precise, it doesn't even start after recent update of ArchLinux. To fix this behaviour and make scilab-bin runnable again the one should use the next export: $ export _JAVA_OPTIONS='-Dswing.installedlafs=com.sun.java.swing.plaf.gtk.GTKLookAndFeel' && /usr/bin/scilab I suppose it worse to put this export to the very beginning of /usr/bin/scilab file.
