some SuSE linux concepts
There is a concepts page that I helped create here, that you could look at:

In particular, for SuSE, there is this page on software (which is relevant to installing a new program):

TRy to use RPM instead of tarballs.

Download and install Smart Package Manager and use it instead of Yast for installing packages. It's better and faster. Always go for RPM's as said above, and don't try a 'tarball' unless absolutely necessary. You will save yourself countless headaches. Yast or Smart resolve all dependencies for you downloading an RPM. Do you have your Installation Sources all setup?
