While others' suggestions of using the Suse packages are definately the
way to go, I've managed to get samba sources up and running by using SWAT.
(Samba Web Administration Tool)

This won't set up the /etc/rc files for you, but it is a brilliant way to
configure samba if you are still learning.

IIRC, SWAT comes with the samba sources, and has docs on how to install it
(it's basically just a new line in /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf)
