Suse is rpm based, so first try: `yum search make` You will get quite a list, you probably want the one like this `make.x86_64 : A GNU tool which simplifies the build process for users` Meaning you could try "yum search make \| grep GNU" first to shorten the list. If you're not on 64bit, the suffix will probably be .i386 or something. Anyway, to install: `yum install make.x86_64`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
