Help with installation please

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

I have downloaded Licq and unpacked it into a directory and ready to install it but i have one problem.  Here:

linux:/home/meltedbutter/Download/Licq/licq-1.2.0a # ./configure

linux:/home/meltedbutter/Download/Licq/licq-1.2.0a # make
bash: make: command not found

I've done the ./configure command and went to the make command but it has brought up this error.  Anybody know what the next step is?
Please be easy on me when explaining shit from the command line.

according to that configure output you don't have the necessary development tools installed (gcc, make etc)

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

okay after installing ALL the C++ Compliers and now re ran the ./configure command, it goes running the linux stuff and ends with this:

configure: error: You need to have the libstdc++ headers installed

Problem is, i do have the libstdc++ program installed and everything else called "libstdc++", if there is anything else then please i'm all ears.

[flap]

You have something like libstdc++-devel* installed?

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

Yes, that is installed.

[Calum]

my guess is that the path to whatever is supposedly missing is wrong in the install scripts. not sure where you would look to edit it though.

[voidmain]

Why not just install the binaries? What distro/version?

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

I am using Suse 8.1.  i even tried their version last night from their site but the installation seems broken!

I will download the source if somebody will guide me through it?

[voidmain]

Again, why download the source when the RPM is on your SuSe installation disk? Or just download it from SuSe's ftp site or install it directly from their FTP site by:

# rpm -Uvh ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/current/suse/i586/licq-1.2.0a-57.i586.rpm

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

I don't have it on the disk Void Main.

I tried the link and its not working, but somebody did suggest i try something called Kopete.  Is that any good?

[Crunchy(Cracked)Butter]

Bah, fucking SuSE options, okay, i realised that something on my Suse wasn't working, some sort of package manager...it was not letting me install anything or update anything...

Anyway, mozilla IS on the cd, its just hidden away as is kopete and other things that i needed.  ANyway i reinstalled after a format and everything is working now.

the Java SDK is installed on my laptop by a tech admin from college so thats that taken care of.  The only problem is that it is installed in root and not as user.
