i guess no body is willing to reply to this post...so i take one step ahead ... my question is just tell me how to compile these files on my suse 10.3 ... any suggestion will be helpfull to me!!!

FIrst try to find the packages in Yast. Most packages will be found there pre compiled for your version Suse.

If you must compile them you will need the compiler for the computer language that the source is written in. Most of the time it is c or c++ and you will need the gcc compiler. You will also need 'make' and you might need the kernel-source. All this can be installed via Yast.
