Probably not - Scilab 5.3.0 Betas (and probably the release) target
1.4.0.1, which is already several versions out of date. While the
configure script says this is a minimum, I doubt much beyond that will
run. As you can see in the this commit, even for minor point releases,
jgraphx renames methods, changes what arguments they take, etc. so you
pretty much have to target a precise version:
