You need a C compiler. http://www.gnu.org/directory/GNU/ for the GNU C Compiler.

You haven't installed the GCC (or any other C) compiler or your path is wrong.
You should either d/l the compiler for the web, or install it from the CD's.
I don't know where to modify the path.... sorry.

you have one one your redhat cd . goto add/remove programs and install all of your devellopment packages.

which cd, source code, instalation disc?

Isn't there a "software manager" for those CD's? I have not used hat since 5 years ago, but I know mandrake has this. That way you don't need to care which CD, you just type in "compiler" in the mandrake package manager and it will tell you what CD to put in (after selecting which compiler).

If you will use the package management tool, it should tell you which CD to insert.

There is an easier way...
Boot the PC with the 1st CD, and choose update (NOT install), and then add the packages pertaning to development. (well it's a way )

What the others are trying to say is

click on the (gnome or KDE) "start button" --> system utilities --> install/remove packages

I don't remmember EXACTELY the path, but it's there somewhere.
