I am using SLES 11 SP and need to install some add-on packages so I can  
build our product. I previously worked with CentOS where the packages  
were named as follows.

gcc-c++ (This one seems to have been installed)  
libaio-devel (This one seems to have been installed)  
kernel-dev (What would this be named in SUSE and where do I find it?)  
qt4-devel (What would this be named in SUSE and where do I find it?)  
libXv-devel (What would this be named in SUSE and where do I find it?)

I have been surfing on-line for a couple of hours and cannot determine  
what these packages are named in SUSE and where to find them. Can anyone  
help?

Download the iso image and place on your server, then use YaST add on  
products to initialize the online and update repositories. Else visit  
the Novell Customer Center and check your mirror credentials to  
manually add.

From the output of uname -a will give your flavor, eg default, desktop  
etc

kernel-{your kernel flavor}-devel  
libqt4-devel  
xorg-x11-libXv-devel
