with so few details nobody can help you. If you are not familiar with
the making of a program you should try to install from a distribution.
try 

http://www.debian.org/Packages/frozen/math/octave.html

but I dont know if slackware can read a debian package. There is a
package conversion program, however, `alien' , if I remember correctly.

or you could try

ftp://ftp.che.wisc.edu/pub/octave/BINARIES/linux/redhat/ 

not to mention
