Welcome to LQ.

1) su
2) zypper in xorg-x11-devel zlib-devel xorg-x11-libXmu-devel \
xorg-x11-libXext-devel xorg-x11-libXau-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel \
gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel libtool make automake autoconf

I think, that will be all, you need.
Makes a nice ns2 / nam etc. on my Suse 11.2 .
The package install can also be done with Yast2,
the "Package Manager".

Good luck .. .. ..
