Have mercy upon me, for I'm very n00b and clueless when it comes to linux. I've got tons of questions, so I'm just going to pop them on this thread from time to time.

Ok, so first up, I installed Suse 9. It came with Kopete messenger, and I'm trying to upgrade it to the latest build. Downloaded it from the official site, unzipped it, and used terminal to navigate to the directory. Following the included instructions, once in the directory, I ran "./configure" to compile. I got this:

Code:
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See 'config.log' for more details.
Remember, you're dealing with a Windows guy here, so step me through this as if I were a complete idiot with a linux box (no comments please ). I presume my Suse 9 didn't come with a compiler, and I need to go get one? What now?
