From the look of this site suse 9.1 personal does not come with gcc or any ohter development tools. This gives some tips on gettting it installed, but if you read to the end you will see that he moved to Fedora core. If you plan to do a lot of installing from source that switch may be the way to go.

Suse does not include any compiler and development tools. To compile source code you need to to get the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and install it. Maybe you can find some RPMs around.

What about installing xchat from yast? Rather than installing from source, go to start-->system-->yast

 

Once in yast, pick "Install and remove software." Type in "xchat" and see if it will install, assuming that you have your cdrom disks or DVD disk with Suse available.
