The configure script cant find the kernel source dir, this happened also to me, just run the configure script with "./configure --with-kernel_dir=path_to_kernel_source" (usually /usr/src/linux-2.4), first make sure that you have the rpm installed, you can check it with "rpm -qa |grep kernel", you're looking for a kernel-source package, if dont, install it from the cd of Suse.
With "uname -r" you would see the kernel version, and, normally in /etc/issue is the version specific to the distribution, so "cat /etc/issue" will give you the info.
