Hello,
I am running Redhat Enterprise 3 AS. Kernal 2.4

I have a linux build that has been customized by a coworker. To install it we use kickstart scripts. The scripts do not show that gcc has been a package that is removed. When I try to install packages from source, I get all kinds of errors.

when i do whereis gcc I get nothing, when I do a find |grep gcc from root I get :
./usr/sbin/libgcc_post_upgrade
./usr/lib/gcc-lib
./lib/libgcc_s-3.2.3-20040701.so.1
./lib/libgcc_s.so.1

So my question is, do I have a compiler installed? If so, how do I find it/ use it to compile new packages.

Also these are the packages removed in the kickstart file.

# Remove unecessary packages
