You need to install "make" first in your package repository. The Ubuntu and XUbuntu package repositories have an useful metapackage called build-essentials which installs any program needed to compile standard C/C++ code, I'm not sure if OpenSUSE's repositories have a similar package though. If not, make sure to fetch at least "make" and "gcc".

If you have no ideas what I'm talking about, learn what a package manager and a package repository is, first. Also, you didn't forget to ./configure on your source code, right? By far most Linux applications compile using ./configure, then make, and then make install as root...
