allow you to write programs in [whatever language on Linux] that can

The notable packages that you care about here are
saprfc-45A-1.i386.rpm and saprfc-devel-45A-1.i386.rpm.
Note that these servers are pretty heavily firewalled; you will likely
only be able to get at them from the server being used to support OSS.
