If you cant find the version you want as a prebuilt slackware tgz you should compile the source and create your own tgz.I use a program called "checkinstall" to do this but there are other apps you could use.To compile from source first umpack the archive using ark or on the command line "tar -xvvf amule.blah.gzip".Then you cd into the newly created folder.When in the folder enter this command "./configure --prefix=/usr".When this is finished enter "make",and if all is well you would run as root "make install" but as you want to make a slackware package you should run (remember to install checkinstall first) "checkinstall --fstrans=no".When asked what type of package to make select Slackware and continue until checkinstall has finished making your amule.tgz.Then as root you would install your new package with "installpkg amule.tgz" remember to put the actual name of the package you have made which will look something like amule-2.2.0.tgz.If you have all the dependencies installed it should be a smooth process.Cheers.Please get back if you are having trouble installing from source.I know that I did the first few times.
