I should probably be slapped. I got excited, cuz after doing the edit you
suggested
I got another error msg (progress!):
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1plus': No such file or directory

Based on that, I did a google search on cc1plus, saw some references to
c++, gpp, and so on, and installed C++ and libraries from SuSE's cds.

Then I got a complaint from make that "/usr/lib/curses: file not
recognized: Is a directory"
so I took out the configure flag pointing there, and now configure nags:

checking for tgetent in -lncurses... no
checking for tgetent in -lcurses... no
checking for tgetent in -ltermcap... no
checking for termcap functions library... configure: error: No
curses/termcap library found

At this point, I'm not sure whether to crap or go blind. Do you have some
advice?

It certainly would after *I* got my hands on it.
