I will ask the SuSe guys, I think the OS should come at least with the basic c compiler. In this case it has become a circular problem. The installation notes say that the prerequisite to have NNLS is gettext and gcc, gcc's prerequisite is the ANSI C compiler for Linux but both are missing from the OS. Any way Thanks a lot.

The simplest way to build gcc is simply to install gcc. However this creates a cirular problem in your case! Suse (along with I hope every linux distribution) comes with a gcc package. Look in your distributions instructions on how to install packages which come with it, and install gcc from there. Chris
