make sure you have gcc/gcc++,kernel sources & make installed,these can be found on the install media/repo

thanks
where do i get this repo?

If you didn’t use the dvd install,as almost everything is on the dvd, add this to your repo list ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.0/repo/oss/suse/i586/ change as necessary for your arch
