Usually, this kind of problem happens when you have been playing too
much on/with your source tree. Are you sure you didn't move it from a
directory to an other ?

Regarding this error, I would say that it is a slackware issue here ...

About Slackware, Scilab is packaged.
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.2/scientific/scilab/5.1/
I don't know if the 5.1.1 is available or not but since the modification
between the 5.1.0 & 5.1.1 are not related to the build system. It should
be easy to use the package description of the 5.1.0 to build the 5.1.1.

You are welcome.
