If you are building your own software outside of standard paths, you’ll either need to link with —rpath or set up your own LD_LIBRARY_PATH for wherever you installed your scilab libraries. Probably the same path as the executables, only in …/lib. This is a general Linux issue, not really a “Fedora” issue, per se.
I use Lmod for environment modules for stuff like this, if I’m not packaging the software.
