[Newbie]Question about gcc

[domn...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I recently installed Fedora Core 3 on my laptop. Whenever I try to
compile a C/C++ program I keep getting the following error:

bash: gcc: command not found

I am guessing either gcc/g++ is not installed or some settings aren't
right. In either case I would greatly appreciate any advice as to what
needs to be done to get gcc/g++ working. TIA.

Presuming yum is setup probably, try as root:

yum install gcc

Be sure yum installs others things needed to compile, make/bison
yacc, autoconf/etc or/and install them in addition.

Good luck

go to .bash_profile and include the path of gcc in your $PATH variable.
to find gcc, use find or whereis. Fedora core 3 does contain those
packages - remember running gcc smoothly on FC1

wheris, like type, only works on binaries that are already in the
path. In Debian, the gcc internals are in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/$arch-linux/$version/
but front-ends are placed in /usr/bin.
