you should install the gcc compiler.
I think it'll work better.

checking for gcc... no

[Ghetto2k4]

where do i get the gcc compiler from?

[Hobo]

suse personal does not come with build tools. suse professional does.

why dont you just use an rpm for installing xchat?

[Ghetto2k4]

well i cant find the newer ver. that is rpm

googling for 'xchat 2.4 suse rpm' might help:
