If you always use CoolProp, you might find it convenient to have the shared library load automatically when you start Scilab. To do that, just rename the 'sample.sce' file to 'scilab.ini' and put it in the scilab home directory which can be found by executing 'SCIHOME' in the scilab console window, the result will be something like that:
