scilab can run on hoary

[Shixin Zeng]

I've tried scilab on hoary(3.0-12), but it can't run. It just prompt a
term, which disappeared immediatly.
I tried to figure out where the problem was:
$bash -x scilab
 test '' = ''
+ PRINTERS=lp
+ test '' = ''
+ SCI=/usr/lib/scilab
+ export SCI
+ test :0.0 = ''
+ export DISPLAY
+ export PRINTERS
+ VERSION=Scilab-3.0
+ export VERSION
+ test '' = ''
+ PVM_ROOT=/usr/lib/pvm3/
+ test '' = ''
++ /usr/lib/pvm3//lib/pvmgetarch
+ PVM_ARCH=LINUX
+ export PVM_ROOT PVM_ARCH
+ PATH=/home/zsx/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/lib/scilab:/usr/lib/scilab/util
+ export PATH
+ rest=no
+ case $# in
+ sci_args=
+ test no = yes
+ /usr/lib/scilab/bin/zterm -e /usr/lib/scilab/bin/scilex

Just as described above, just a term prompt to me.

Then I tried to debug it:
