Hi!

My problem is that loadmatfile (maybe the full matio lib) does not work for me in Scilab2024.0.0 under MacOS Sonoma 14.2.1 M1 chip.  
This is quite a significant problem, corrupting compatibility.  
I got this error message:

An error has been detected while loading /Applications/scilab-2024.0.0.app/Contents/share/scilab/modules/matio/.libs/libscimatio.dylib: dlopen(/Applications/scilab-2024.0.0.app/Contents/share/scilab/modules/matio/.libs/libscimatio.dylib, 0x000A): tried: ‘/Applications/scilab-2024.0.0.app/Contents/share/scilab/modules/matio/.libs/libscimatio.dylib’ (no such file), ‘/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/Applications/scilab-2024.0.0.app/Contents/share/scilab/modules/matio/.libs/libscimatio.dylib’ (no such file), ‘/Applications/scilab-2024.0.0.app/Contents/share/scilab/modules/matio/.libs/libscimatio.dylib’ (no such file)

Could you help with this?

Hello,

You are right, there has been a problem during the packaging as libmatio.11.dylib is missing in the application bundle. However, I think that just adding it manually won’t make macOS Gatekeeper very happy and you won’t be able to run Scilab any more. I will make a new bundle which will be available this afternoon, stay tuned.

The new bundle is available: [https://www.utc.fr/~mottelet/scilab/download/2024.0.0/scilab-2024.0.0-arm64.dmg](https://www.utc.fr/~mottelet/scilab/download/2024.0.0/scilab-2024.0.0-arm64.dmg)

Can you test it (I already checked that loadmafile and savematfile work fine now).
