SuperKaramba install problem on KDE 3.2

Hi, I've always been a big fan of gDesklets (nightmare on Slack 9.1) but I have recently moved to SuSE 9.1 and am now using KDE 3.2

From reading the forums on here I discovered that the nearest thing for KDE is SuperKaramba, but I'm having problems installing it.

When I've unzipped it to a directory and run "./configure" I get:

Code:

linux:/home/Morrolan/superkaramba-0.34 # ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
linux:/home/Morrolan/superkaramba-0.34 #

How can I check what C compiler is installed, and how can I add it to my $PATH?

Thanks in advance

You need to install the developer tools using YaST.

I've been looking through YAST trying to figure out how, I can see the list of packages, but I can't find the developer tools etc.

I've gone into "Install and Remove Software" and I can see the package lists, but I can't see what I need.

Is there a specific place I should be looking?

I'm using the downloaded version of SuSE 9.1 btw, if that makes any difference.

OK I've figured out why I( can't find what I'm looking for - SuSE 9.1 Personal doesn't come with a C compiler, only the professional version does

So I went to ftp.suse.com and downloaded the gcc rpm and it's dependents (glibc-devel) and installed them using YaST with no problems, and now when I run ./configure for SuperKaramba it gets past the point where it is asking for gcc, and now it produces an error like so:

Obviously X is installed and working fine, but this has completely stumped me - I have no idea what is it asking of me now.
