Hello,

It seems to be a PATH problem, so to find where gcc is installed you can type this command (It may take a very long time):
Code:
find / -name gcc
Then try to run gcc with full path (ie /usr/bin/gcc). If that works it means it was really a PATH problem. So add the missing PATH to your environnement variable:
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/my/gcc/path
To make it permanent, add the previous line in your ~/.bashrc for example.

The results of find / -name gcc are
Quote:
[root@beenb eng11104]# find / -name gcc
/usr/src/debug/gcc-3.2.3-20030505/gcc
/usr/src/debug/gcc-3.2.3-20030505/obj-i386-redhat-linux/gcc
/usr/src/debug/gcc-3.3.2-20031023/gcc
/usr/src/debug/gcc-3.3.2-20031023/obj-i386-redhat-linux/gcc
/home/eng11104/gcc
/home/eng11104/gcc/gcc
/openpkg/bin/gcc
/openpkg/include/gcc
Now what shud i do to see if it is installed or how do i run it using the full path......i am new to linux so pls state explicitly....

Thanks...

Well, for example to compile hello.c into hello, do:
Code:
/openpkg/bin/gcc -o hello hello.c
Or you can try:
Code:
export PATH=$PATH:/openpkg/bin
gcc -o hello hello.c
