Tell us why you want to install this way.
What version of SUSE are you using?

DU? do you mean as in du (disk use)?

You can use this command "zypper in package name" to install packages that way will help you to search any packages from your repositories and then install it in terminal, if you still attempt to install tar.gz file, you can also use the following command to complete installation...

# tar -zxvf xxx.tar.gz and then
# make
# make install

If you are going to install a package from one of repos:
1. First of all make sure your repos are auto-refreshed
zypper mr -r -a (this enables auto-refresh for all repos)
2. Search for your package
zypper se <package_name>
3. If zypper found the package try:
zypper in <actual_package_name>
