If you've gotten all that, you're probably good to go.
You'll find out what you are missing at the worst moment, when you build fail. :p

ok I refer to my previous post and it's link so you don't have to install suse 21+ times like this guy:
"This guide assumes that you are a beginner like me (I use beginner cause the word newbie is degrading) . I stumble upon these things by trial and error and I have loaded Suse 9.1 over 21 times. Till now I still can't get it to recognize my externel HD and allow 3D to my ATI 9800 Pro. Oh well, till then I am still a slave to M$ WinHole."- make and gcc: Go to YaST -> Install & Remove Software -> Selections (drop down menu) -> Check C/C++ Development.
- X Libraries: You need the XFree86-devel libraries, go to YaST -> Install & Remove Software -> Search for "devel" -> Check XFree86-devel libs.
- QT libraries: Not the usual QT libraries but the development ones, go to YaST -> Install & Remove Software -> Search for "devel" -> Check QT devel libs.
- KDE Libraries: You are going to need the KDEbase3-devel libs, go to YaST -> Install & Remove Software -> Search for "devel" -> Check KDEbase3-devel libs."
