Problem with Gcc installation on Centos

Nemoden · 03-29-2010, 04:13 AM

I've installed GCC compiler:

Code:

yum install gcc

Added all directories to the $PATH

Code:

find / -name gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc/gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc/gcc/testsuite/ada/acats/tests/gcc
/usr/lib/gcc
/usr/libexec/gcc
[root@sql httpd-2.2.15]# PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/gcc:/usr/local/bin/gcc/gcc/testsuite/ada/acats/tests:/usr/lib:/usr/libexec:$PATH
[root@sql httpd-2.2.15]# which gcc
/usr/bin/which: no gcc in (/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/gcc:/usr/local/bin/gcc/gcc/testsuite/ada/acats/tests:/usr/lib:/usr/libexec:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

and anyway ./configure does not work for the reason of

Quote:

configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH

Any ideas?

Code:

which gcc
/usr/bin/which: no gcc in (/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/bin/gcc:/usr/local/bin/gcc/gcc/testsuite/ada/acats/tests:/usr/lib:/usr/libexec:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)

Is the file /usr/bin/gcc executable? Sounds like something when awry in the install phase. Here's my file details:-

Code:

There should be no GCC whatsoever in /usr/local/bin/ !

# yum install gcc
.. provides a GCC not very usable.
You will need : # yum install glibc-devel glibc-headers
Also recommended : # yum install gcc-c++

Not quite clear, why you would do such a thing.
Software installed with yum ( = packages ) :
No setup or PATH setting is required.
( For 99 percent of the packages.)

knudfl, Thanks. I found this forum a long time ago, but registered just now. Due to my work I need to work on Ubuntu (as desktop), FreeBSD and CentOS (as server) a lot and it is really hard for Windows 7 user

Installation of gcc wasn't a problem on Ubuntu at all on my desktop. I don't know why I've faced with it on CentOS. Anyway it's my mistake - I attempted to install it from sources (not from yum repos).

My problem is solved. Although, I'd narrate what I've done to fix it (maybe somebody has the same issue):

Code:

Package glibc-devel-2.5-42.i386 already installed and latest version                                                                                                                                              
Package glibc-headers-2.5-42.i386 already installed and latest version

Installed gcc-c++

Code:

Not quite clear, why you would do such a thing.
Software installed with yum ( = packages ) :
No setup or PATH setting is required. 
( For 99 percent of the packages.)

I thought it might solve the problem

Code:

[root@sql httpd-2.2.15]# /usr/bin/gcc
-bash: /usr/bin/gcc: is a directory

I found appropriate Gcc compiler named gcc44 /usr/bin.
Made a symbolyc link:

Code:

ln -s -T /usr/bin/gcc44 /usr/bin/gcc

Code:

[root@sql httpd-2.2.15]# ls -l /usr/bin | grep gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root          3 Mar 30 08:08 cc -> gcc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root         14 Mar 30 08:23 gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc44
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root     218448 Sep  4  2009 gcc44
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root     196692 Sep  3  2009 gcc;4bafd274
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root     196692 Sep  3  2009 gcc;4bafd6a6
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root     196692 Sep  3  2009 gcc;4bb116e9
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root     218448 Sep  4  2009 i386-redhat-linux6E-gcc44
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root     196692 Sep  3  2009 i386-redhat-linux-gcc

All this mess is from my previous attempts to install gcc.
For example I have no idea what is
gcc;4bafd274
etc, but at least now everything works just fine and I've installed apache2.

Please don't use root for "user commands".
Root is for administrative tasks only !

Code:

     1	ls -l /usr/bin | grep gcc
     2	lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root           3 Aug  7  2009 cc -> gcc
     3	-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root      196644 Jan 21  2009 gcc
     4	-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root       89728 Mar 23  2007 gcc34
     5	-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root      208480 Jan 21  2009 gcc43
     6	-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root        2018 Mar 24  2007 gccmakedep
     7	-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root      208480 Jan 21  2009 i386-redhat-linux6E-gcc43
     8	-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root      196644 Jan 21  2009 i386-redhat-linux-gcc
     9	-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root       89728 Mar 23  2007 i386-redhat-linux-gcc34

The default gcc ( line 3 (and 8 )) is gcc-4.1.2,
the one you get with # yum install gcc .

So it's a mystery, why it is / was missing on your OS.
.....
These three, you also show :
gcc;4bafd274
gcc;4bafd6a6
gcc;4bb116e9
... I don't know, what it is. May be inspect the files.
Please try this command file /usr/bin/<file-to-be-tested>.
.....

I have gcc43 instead of your gcc44.

Code:

rpm -qa --last | grep gcc
