Philipp-
Thanks for the post.....I was just getting into the reply mode
when I saw yours. Installing everything in devel is not good advice
for learning what Linux is about.
Best Regards

I have found it best just install everything in the development section of packages on the suse cd (using yast) and any other libraries or include rpms that are on the cd's.
Yeah, when you hold a srewdriver by the blade, every screw becomes a nail ;-) Of cause you can do that and install all that's in devel, but it's way overkill. Usually, you need a compiler for the language the program was written in. C and C++ should suffice for most (including the necessary libraries). From the devel tools, you'll mostly need bison and flex (and gettext if you want to use message catalogs). The C compiler, binutils and make are allready installed.
I'd install the rest on an as needed basis. But if I didn't have at least a bit of a clue about development and the needed tools, I'd stay away from trying to compile packages on my own.
