Does this mean that you are trying to install 5.8.3 on the SUSE system and getting seg-faults during the installation process? (And which release of SUSE is that? You still haven't said.)

Have you tried compiling/installing other source-code packages on this system lately? If there are seg-faults while trying to do things with "config" and "make" and so on, it could be that there's something wrong between your standard system libraries and standard utils.

If you can't figure out the problems on your own, you really do need to provide some concrete details for the rest of us: what specific commands have you run, what's the last thing that happens before the seg-fault, what error messages appear, if any, before the seg-fault? We can't guess these things, let alone suggest a solution -- you have to be clear and explicit.
