I had a quick look at the site myself (it sparked a bit of curiosity on
a lazy Sunday morning :-) ) and Bluefish site says it requires -- "GTK
1.2*", so you should have an OK version of GTK, what you are most likely
missing though is the gtk+-devel package which you can get from your
install media (via YaST I believe -- I'm not a SuSe person).

If you want to skip all the fun of rolling your own, simply download the
rpm at the link below (Bluefish master site) and install it with the
command (as root):

        rpm -Uvh bluefish-0.7-2.i386.rpm

Failing that, Jenn's suggestion is definitely next step.

Hope that helps.
