Glad you got it resolved.

In the "Installing and getting started" section of the README it does
say to run "make install".  You can run the Install script directly, but
only if you have first run make.  This is not all platforms, not just
Slackware.

FYI: 
The --newrc option will create a new .burc in your home directory no
matter directory you are in (unless you use "-c /path/filename" option),
so you don't have to cd there first.  Also, if you remove your old
~/.burc, a new one will automatically be created with default settings,
or with settings you specify on the command line, the next time you run
bu (except with the --help switch).

I curious about what the problem is on your Slackware 9.0 box.  Bu
should run on pretty much any modern Unix as long as pax is installed.
