gcc help

spooodini · 10-27-2003, 04:50 PM

Ok I installed the Mandrake 9.1 distribution, and used rpm to install the c and c++ compilers. So I think I have gcc 2.96 and gcc 3.2.2. When I enter gcc -v, it says:
bash: gcc: command not found.

Is gcc not installed? The only place I can find any gcc files are in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/. I am not sure what I need to fix so that it recognizes one of the gcc compilers. There are cpp files in the /usr/bin folder. What do I need to do so that it recognizes I have a c compiler.

Thanks

Does your path include the location of the compiler?

try
> which gcc

No it doesn't. How do I know I even have the compiler on my system, and if I do how do I change the path?

i am having trouble with GCC also. I posted a thread but no1 repsonded...

but anyway, i want to learn about linux so i installed redhat 9.0 with the minimum (i choose the things i thought i would need) and I purposely left out the gcc compilers, and libs, etc so that I can find out what each does by being prompted for it. Obviously, i went to install checkinstall and was promted for gcc, but it gives me an error, i dont know what to do. what do i need to install the gcc compiler?

I'm having the SAME problem! Can't install mkisofs because it's looking for a compiler which doesn't exist. I'm running MDK9.1 and have installed Gcc from the CD. My system also says "doesn't exist".
I can do everything except burn CD's. Had it working fine and tried to add k3b which blew away my cdrecord and mkisofs. Cdrecord is installed again and working. mkisofs won't install

Help!

Try

find /usr -name gcc

It will show you the path to gcc. Make sure your path is set at login to include the gcc compiler location.
