By default, the configure checks all dependencies but it is possible to
disable many of them (pvm, umfpack, matio, tcl/tk, the gui, etc).

The command is --without-pvm --without-umfpack
However, try to install the dependencies.

If you are running a recent Ubuntu or Debian, the following command with
install all Scilab mandatory dependencies:
apt-get build-dep scilab
