No, from the net would mean from the SUSE website. And if I purchase it how do I know its going to work any better? I thought you only had to purchase if you wanted SUSE support services with the product? Why do they offer something if its not going to work? Why would you install an OS that is 90% reliant on compiling software and then not include a compiler.
Linux is _not_ 90% reliant on compiling software all by yourself. The personal edition is just that: A personal edition for people who want to _use_ Linux as a real alternative to whatever Redmod comes up with, for surfing the web without fear of virusses and dialers, for using an Office suite. The SuSE web sites state clearly what is included and what is not. It's up to each individual user to chose what best fits his needs.
My major issue here is more that I see things checked that would make me think it should be there and its not...
Try the manual way:
rpm -q make
It should say something like
make-3.80-184
If "rpm -q" would tell you something different than YaST2's package manager,
this would indeed be a major bug - but we would definitely have heard of that
by now, so I have my doubts about that. Please double-check that.
