OSSEC HIDS cc: error trying to exec 'as': execvp:

I am trying to install ossec agent (2.8.1) on sles 11 sp1 and when running the ./install.sh I get this error:

cc: error trying to exec ‘as’: execvp: No such file or directory

I did install make and gcc-c++ , but I have the feeling I am missing packages
in /var/log/messages I dont see any logs regarding ossec

here is the complete error:

The issue is missing a package, but which one

(there are rpm packages for OSSEC and installed them, but they don’t seem to work (to make a long story short))
