You need to install the gcc compiler. Go to Yast-Software-Software Management search for gcc and install. The gcc compiler is not installed by default.

You may also see if the package you wish to install is in the repositories. It is in general much better to install from the repository rather then compiling from source.

You can try this as Well just search for what ever program you wanna install

Unless I'm missing something, I do not see a "configure" in the cowpatty-4.3 directory. I do see the INSTALL script which is what I'd be reading first on how to compile the package. Also, it appears you need to install openssl development. I don't know what it would actually be called in SuSE though...

When compiling from source, you need to read the README or INSTALL files for details on how to install the program. There is no ./configure in the package you are trying to install, so installation is not your typical ./configure, make, make install.
