Have you tried to search the Oracle knowledgebase???? You can type in "yum update gcc".

Try

Code:

yum repolist

Also, show

Code:

cat /etc/*release*

uname -a

You should know that OEL is a paid for distro and you need to register it with Oracle to get updates.
If you are not prepared to pay, replace with Centos.

Right....as you were told in two of your other threads, if you're not going to PAY FOR RHEL or Oracle, then you SHOULD NOT BE USING IT, since you WILL NOT GET UPDATES AND ACCESS TO THE REPOSITORIES. That hasn't changed. Pay for Oracle and you'll have access to these things...pay for Red Hat, and you'll have access. Use it and don't pay for it, you WON'T get them...simple.

Chrism01 hit it on the head...if you're not going to pay, load CentOS. You STILL have to pay for the Oracle database software, or IT will then be left without support too.
