the recently updated jogl breaks both the installed version as well as compiling scilab. Please adjust the dependencies.
I've pinned the jogl version in the ebuild, so should be fixed now.
Yep, that's fixed. Except that scilab still has a blank graphics window - I'm not sure whether that's gentoo's fault though. And that's another topic anyway.
I you start scilab from the command line, do you get an error message when you open a graphics window? Which graphics drivers are you using? Would be interesting to get to the bottom of this.
This is what I get when I'm starting scilab from the command line. I'm using the intel driver. I had the same problem with scilab 5.4 which could be fixed by upgrading jogl, which in turn would cause other problems. But with the new version of jogl AND the new version of scilab, I'm having the same problem again.

You seem to have some other issues than just a driver issue: "No space left on device". Can you clean some space on your drive and show me the actual error message?
Yes, there wasn't enough space. Here's everything with enough space. Same problem.

I have just pushed scilab-5.5.0 in the science overlay. There was a lot of changes in the graphics stack. Please let me know if you still have issues with a blank display.
Everything fine now
