I have not used SUSE, but it has a GUI based package management tool called YaST and a command line tool called Zypper. Based upon a Google search, it looks like you will need to use one of them to install the Software Development tool related packages, which are apparently and not surprisingly, not available in a basic installation. As a new user, the GUI based YaST may be easier for you.
Some more information is available at: http://en.opensuse.org/YaST http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper and there are SUSE user assistance forums at: http://forums.opensuse.org/ Detlef has also provided some basic information here: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/linux/suse/ specific to R and SUSE. I am not clear on how you installed R in the first place, but hopefully the above resources can get you moving forward. If you are going to use Linux, you really need to buy a book on using it, specific to your distribution, to provide a basic OS support and reference resource.
