on my RH system:
# rpm -qf /usr/bin/compress
ncompress-4.2.4-24
# rpm -ql ncompress
/usr/bin/compress
/usr/bin/uncompress
/usr/share/doc/ncompress-4.2.4
/usr/share/doc/ncompress-4.2.4/LZW.INFO
/usr/share/doc/ncompress-4.2.4/README
/usr/share/man/man1/compress.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/uncompress.1.gz

I don't know why it wouldn't work for SuSE...
