Do you have the kernel source installed?
Have a look at /usr/src/linux and see if it's populated.
When I installed SUSE, I installed all development packages (I think theres an option during the installation that'll allow you to specify that you want to install the "Development" group of packages.)
If you're going to be compiling a lot of programs from source, these require development packages to be installed. If you've got the hard disk space, then I'd definitely recommend installing as much as possible.
If you don't want the development/source packages, then your only option is to install from RPM.
Cheers
