Firstly you will find the tun device already exists if you are using a 2.4 
kernel. e.g.
merlin:~ # ls -l /dev/net/tu*
crw-------    1 root     root      10, 200 Sep 10 06:24 /dev/net/tun
merlin:~ #
All I had to do was "modprobe tun" to get it working. I have now added this 
command to /etc/init.d/boot.local so that it automatically starts on reboot.

Regarding the compiling of openVPN you can get rpm and srpms packages from 
http://www.baschny.de/linux/SuSE-8.0/
