zypper should have installed all necessary dependencies, including a whole bunch of X11 headers. Something seems to be wrong on your system or SuSE's package dependencies. I know why I dislike SuSE. :) Although I started my Linux career 12 years ago with SuSE I prefer Debian based systems since Woody came out in 2002. :) > X11 says: > Program 'X11' is present in package 'xorg-x11', which is installed on > your system. zypper search X11 | grep devel ... zypper install xorg-x11-devel That should (hopefully) do the trick. On a Debian based systems it's much easier to install all Python dependencies with "apt-get build-dep python2.5" To quote SuSE: "Have a lot of fun ..." Und viel Glück!
