Hi,
openSUSE 12.3 KDE default installation comes with hugin installed, however you won’t be able to align images: when you click align no assistant window pops up and you get notification that images are not connected by control points.
This happens because Hugin requires “make” utility to stitch photos. But looks like openSUSE packager does not automatically provide this dependancy

Just install “make” to make it working
