Please help me

Everytime I try to install something for tar.gz it doesn't work
For e.g. I try to do make and winges about autoconf.
I try to install gcc, make and perl so I can use make which requires autoconf.
Everything I do with my SuSe 9.1 personal winges for dependency
All of them seem to be related to gnc
Does anyone know where I can get rpms for gnc, make, make install rpms and everything else so I can actually be able to install tar.gz programs whenever I want without probs. Please Help me. I don't want to install debian just to not have tar problems.
