Quick guess: it seems to be telling you that you need Octave 3.6.0. Are 
you running an earlier version of octave? It also suggests you need some 
other packages such as 'general', 'needs', and 'specfun'. You may be 
able to run an older version of the signal library. However, if you can 
update octave (if you are on a Mac then this isn't easy) then the 'pkg 
install' function can download and install the packages for you and 
things get a lot slicker.

Cheers.
