bc command not found

hello,
i'm trying to install ibm rose on my mandrake 10.1, and i get the error message:
"bc command not found in the path."
i can't find a bc.exe or bc.bin file on my computer
bc is a mathematical tool.
is it not installed by default?
where can i find it?

bc is a language--I would NOT expect it to be installed by default. Curiously, in the link above, I don't see where to get it.

Have you looked in the Mandriva repositories?

And what is "ibm rose"

probably not installed by default, try your discs or here

rose is now named ibm rds (rational development software).
