As the error message says, you need to install the X11 Development
headers.  I don't know what Suse calls it, but in Debian it's called
xlibs-dev (which has been broken up into several libraries, which get
installed by the pseudo-package xlibs-dev in the testing--hopefully
soon-to-be-released--version.

Most will, once you get the necessary libs installed, although frequent
changes in ImageMagick will sometimes cause a hiccup.  I have a
preference for Debian, but there are many Suse users of Xastir.  These
two probably support more ham radio applications than most others, since
there are a lot of hams involved in creating the distros.
