It looks as though you do not have the C compiler installed!
Have a look under the "development" packages in the package
manager.
I have to say that, in my recent experiments with Debian,
as a candidate for the next Linux distribution I shall install,
I find that it's less than transparent when it comes to thing
like this. For all the SeSE has gone over the top in recent
years, to the point that I've lost interest in it since 7.2,
it has (or did have) a very clean aproach to installing
development software.
Good luck! (And maybe others can pin-point the problem better
than I can).
Ted.
