Launching GCC....
 
I am a beginner at the linux forums. I am unable to launch gcc through command terminal.I am using red hat platform. Can any 1 help me out.

it should just be:

Code:
gcc program.c
where "program.c" is your C program

are you getting some kind of error? Is GCC installed?

rpm -qa |grep -i gcc

will show if its installed

@ chrism 01, I m getting this message when i have typed the command u told.

gcc-gfortran-4.1.2-46.el5
libgcc-4.1.2-46.el5
gcc44-c++-4.4.0-6.el5
gcc44-4.4.0-6.el5
gcc-4.1.2-46.el5
gcc-c++-4.1.2-46.el5

How can i execute the file, after compilation. What commands do i need to use to execute the file..

If you don't tell the compiler otherwise, it will create an executable called "a.out". You can compile and run with the following commands.
Code:
gcc program.c
./a.out
If you can I suggest you try to get your hands on a copy of "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie. This is covered in the first few pages.

Cheers,

Evo2.
