I can't seem to do anything with .rpm files at all now, and I can't compile either. Apparently I'm missing a compiler. I'm an extreme Linux newbie, so forgive me. SuSE 9.1 personal
blacksheep@linux:~> rpm -i gaim-1.0.0-0.src.rpm

and then this when trying to compile

I'd say that is your problem.
When I initially installed 9.1 Personal I didn't have any problems with the C compiler. So I'd say something hiccuped during your install.
If it was me, I would first verify the MD5SUM is correct and if so then I would reinstall it.
If it is incorrect you need to get a correct copy of the ISO.
The other option is to do an ftp install (you can ftp install the 9.1 pro version)... if you have the time and a decent internet connection.
You may also need a devel rpm too, but I can't remember the exact name of it. Try installing this gcc rpm using YaST, and if it works it will inform you if any dependencies aren't met.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to install the rpm at the CLI and see if that does.
I had this exact same problem 2 days ago after changing to SuSE 9.1 Personal, and after extensive Googling I found that it doesn't come with a C compiler.
Morrolan,
Are you sure that SUse 9.1 does not have a C complier on the DVD, I have it at home and am pretty sure I installed from the DVD, but I will check.
Jazz Sheep try installing from the DVD both C and Gaim.
Sorry I forgot to specify, I am using the downloaded version of SuSE 9.1 Personal, I don't know if the retail version has a C compiler or not, but all of the websites I've found with reference to this simply say 9.1 Personal - no C compiler, 9.1 Pro - C compiler included.
