Maybe the easiest way is to use Mandrake control center to install gcc.Or you need to install other version of gcc I think there was 2.By the way NVIDIA drivers does not work well for me.

To locate the file that will be executed by the command 'gcc' do:

Code:

which gcc

post the output of that

Quote:

#vi /root/.bashrc
PATH=/usr/lib/gcc

No wonder you can't execute gcc:
1. There are no executable commands in /usr/lib/gcc, just assorted library files
2. You have set the PATH variable to be only /usr/lib/gcc not added /usr/lib/gcc to the existing PATHs. To add something onto the existing path do

Code:

PATH=$PATH:/some/path

Also you generally set the PATH variable in the profile scripts (/etc/profile or ~/.bash_profile)

Anyway there is no need to do any of this with Mandrake. The gcc package installs the gcc executable in /usr/bin/ which by default (on all types of installs and for all users) is in your path - you're barking up the wrong tree chasing after $PATH stuff.

Try going to easyurpmi (see my sig) and settting up the software repos. Then try to install gcc again.
If that doesn't work post the output of

Code:

rpm -qa | grep -i gcc

did you also install gcc-devel? I think there's one of those.

Use the Mandriva Control Center and go to SOFTWARE --> Install and type in GCC. YOu'll get a visual list of all the GCC components. Maybe you are missing one.
