I've been trying to install some software in SuSE Enterprise (SLES 11 SP 2 64 bits), and keep getting errors about missing dependencies. In the past, I could work around them (in an Ubuntu system) by installing python-devel, but I couldn't find it in SLES repository. Now I need to install Ruby Gems, and also can't find either ruby-devel or rubygems using zypper.I should be able to install Gems manually, but I'm clueless about those two devel packages. When googling them, I keep getting OpenSuse results (which are pointless, since AFAIK OpenSuse comes with these packages already included in its repositories) regardless of searching for suse, suse enterprise or sles. Most searches for binaries also show only files targeting OpenSuse.How can I install these two packages? I'm fairly new to SuSE Enterprise (or SuSE in general), and not very familiar to its installation procedures. I've had no problems using zypper or YaST to install things which came included in the default repositories, but - while I could look up how to include other repos - I'm having trouble even finding the right ones to include.P.S. I just found this thread about [the lack of] devel RPMs for SuSE Enterprise. I haven't tried following those instructions yet (will do later, if a more direct and/or simpler approach doesn't show up).
