Octave expects an algebraic _expression_, so it thinks that you are asking it to divide a bunch of numbers.
You can't use absolute paths like that---instead, cd to your GainTuningExercise directory and execute runsim there. You can cd in shell and run octave, or cd in octave. The cd command has special rules for parsing its arguments, so the above problem with Octave interpreting / as division should not apply: you should be able to type either form of the 'cd' command:

cd /home/antoine/scilab-5.5.2/GainTuningExercise/
cd ("/home/antoine/scilab-5.5.2/GainTuningExercise/")
