yes, that's quite likely. The idea from `si` is that you get the build
dependencies (headers, libraries).

Getting the tools themselves is not part of that for several reasons.
Mostly because it makes generating packages on the server faster, and
that's a good thing.

There are still the zypper patterns, those will give you all the basic
compilation tools in one command. Check `zypper pt` which one you
need/have, and use `zypper in -t pattern $pattern` to install a whole
pattern at once.
