Fixed. Apparently, I have to manually tell Suse to add the OSS repository (as well as others) to the list of repositories to be searched. Once I stumbled across that, suddenly, I can install packages.

Subject: [opensuse] C compiler in oss?

Just clean-installed openSUSE 10.3 on a new system. The articles about it say that there is a C compiler in it but I can't find it. cc and gcc are not present. Neither is make or nmake. When I try to install software packages from the Suse 'oss' web sites using YAST, it aborts out without error messages.

I want to be able to compile C code, but I want to be able to install other packages too.

Any ideas?
