First, you should be installing the v2.0 release as described in http://iraf.net/article.php/20081118030715468

The message basically means the X11 app-defaults directory wasn't found in one of the "normal" locations. You only need this file for the XGterm menu options and some default color settings. I don't have a SuSE system but try to find the 'app-defaults' directory under e.g. /usr/X11R6 somewhere, the manually copy the 'XGterm' file in x11iraf$app-defaults to this directory to restore that functionality. You can ignore the message from the install script then.
