Which distro is this?

Code:

uname -a

cat /etc/*release*

Normally you'd get them over the net using the pkg mgr eg in RHEL/Centos related systems

Code:

yum install libjpeg-devel

# try also
yum info libjpeg-devel

# or
yum provides libjpeg-devel
#which replies
libjpeg-turbo-devel-1.2.1-1.el6.x86_64 : Headers for the libjpeg-turbo library
Repo        : base
Matched from:
Other       : libjpeg-devel



libjpeg-turbo-devel-1.2.1-1.el6.i686 : Headers for the libjpeg-turbo library
Repo        : base
Matched from:
Other       : libjpeg-devel



libjpeg-turbo-devel-1.2.1-1.el6.x86_64 : Headers for the libjpeg-turbo library
Repo        : installed
Matched from:
Other       : Provides-match: libjpeg-devel

These would also work if they are available from the install media and that repo is enabled.

Searching a package # zypper se <name> ( Or part of name )

Installing packages : # zypper in gd-devel libjpeg-devel libpng-devel

SLE 10, 11 are commercial OS's. No free packages.
So generally packages cannot be downloaded.
A Suse license / subscription is required to get packages / updates.

A few packages are available. Please show the outputs from the commands:
1) cat /etc/SuSE-release
2) uname -m

hi, with uname i get linux-abed 2.6.32.12-0.7-default #smp 2010-05-20 11:14:20 +2000 x86_64 x86_64 gnu/linux
i find it difficult to source for header packages file online using suse linux enterprise. even with yast, not all of the libraries are available

#4 : OK, 2.6.32.12 is SLE 11, I guess.

What is the output from : $ cat /etc/*release*

And you don't know if you have bought a license ? Please confirm.

( A limited selection in Yast may indicate a DVD only repo.)
