OpenSUSE 10.3 GCC/Make Installation Paradox


As of yesterday, I run OpenSUSE 10.3.

I tried to install the ndiswrappers for my wifi card. As it turns out, I need to install GNU Make to install the ndiswrappers. Fair enough.

So I go to install Make, but I need GCC or another C compiler (which I don't have) in order to do so.. So I need to install GCC, fair enough.

So I go to install GCC, but I need to install Make to install GCC. Is there any way around this dependency paradox?

Please note that I cannot direcly connect my Linux computer to the internet, however, I can download files from a different computer and transfer them via flash drive.

I WAS trying to compile them from source (Problem is now over as, after a tidal wave of dependencies was resolved, I was able to install by binaries).
