So today I've tried: 1) The nightly version. Scilab couldnt find the right version of libgfortran. Installed gcc-7 g++-7 and fixed the gfortran issue. Original problem with ATOMS replicated.
2) Nuked the install folder as requested, sudo removed scilab to clean, installed again. Same problem as before with another repeat of the issue in the askubuntu thread: chris@eniac:~$ scilab Warning: Could not find Java package '/usr/share/java/jlatexmath-fop-1.0.6.jar'. Some problems during the loading of the Java libraries occurred. This could lead to inconsistent behaviours. Please check SCI/etc/classpath.xml.
