How to make SuiteSparse to be discoverable by Octave configure script?

[Sergey Maslennikov]

I'm trying to configure Octave on a machine with Linux installed from 
Slackware 11 distributive but it is appeared to be quite hard to install 
SuiteSparse in a recognizable for Octave configure script manner.

Could anybody help me to configure and install SuiteSparse properly to 
make it consistent with Octave?

My current configurations.
--------------------------

1) SuiteSparse

A few options was added in SuiteSparse/UFconfig/UFconfig.mk: "BLAS = 
.... -lpthread" "LAPACK = ... -lcblas -latlas"
As a result of SuiteSparse compilation the files with '.a' extension 
have appeared in its directories (for instance, 
SuiteSparse/UMFPACK/Lib/libumfpack.a). I have put all .a ended files to 
/usr/lib and have put all .h files to /usr/include using Slackware 
makepkg utility.

2) Octave configure script output (actually, it's only the end of the 
output)
