(That's because the distributors often factor out the development support into extra packages.) For example, if "./configure" is complaining about a missing libjpeg, you might be successfull by installing the jpeg-dev package. (I have no idea what they might be called on SuSE.) -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with.
