Hi Don,
My advice to you would be to install the smart package manager which, in my
experience, tends to work better out of the box than YaST at finding and
resolving dependencies as it tends to have more sources defined by default.
You can find SUSE packages here:

http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/rpm-navigation.php?cat=/System/smart

and more general information here:

http://labix.org/smart

You'll need to install the smart package and possibly the smart-gui package
if you are uncomfortable on the command line. To run the gui version
(assuming you are using kde) go to start menu->system->configuration->smart
and from there search for the package you are after and check it to install -
dependencies should be automatically resolved.

To run the command line version, smart --update && smart install <package>
(as root) should help you on your way.

HTH
Craig
