Dear Clement, thanks for your quick answer. I tried your suggestion. Removing SCIHOME does not help. When trying to attach gdb to the scilab process as normal user, I received an error mentioning I should try as root, so I did as root. The output of the terminal is below. I have no idea what it means, but maybe you or someone else does.
