Good, then yes, the problem is the compressed info files.

This has been reported and fixed, see bug #41054. This will be fixed in the next bugfix release of Octave, or you can apply the patch to your 3.8.0 build.

I am building GNU Octave 3.8.0 on Slackware 14.1 using the buildscript given below:

# Default to use ImageMagick (shipped with Slackware) instead of
# GraphicsMagick so that octave will have at least some sort of image
# reading capabilities.  It's unclear if one is recommended over the other.
#
# ImageMagick uses 16 bits per pixel quantum (each of the red, green, blue,
# and alpha components) by default; GraphicsMagick uses 8 bits by default.
# If you require more, add '--with-quantum-depth=N' (where N is 8, 16, or 32)
# to the ./configure step of either Magick package when you build it.
# Larger values will make your Magick package slower and use more memory.
WITH_MAGICK=${WITH_MAGICK:-ImageMagick} # alternatively, "GraphicsMagick"

# umfpack.h includes amd.h, which may be installed outside of the standard
# search dirs if you use the SBo packages.  This ensures UMFPACK is found.

Can you describe how you configured and installed Octave, e.g.  your configure command line, any warnings in configure output? Have you run make install? Have you compressed your info files after installing?
