In general from RPM based distribution you need to install the -dev version of the package to compile against the library. I use SUSE and love, recomend it to newbies, yast is great it is a one stop shop to do your system admin with out have to remember which file you have to edit where, which is hard for those of us who do not admin much. I have compiled KDE vs SUSE 11.1 so that seams like a fairly good test.
