Do I have gcc?

How can I tell if I have gcc already installed?

I have RedHat 8.0, with the Gnome desktop.

erm.. you type in "gcc" to a terminal and it doesn't say "file not found"....

Try running:
gcc

Or:
rpm -qa | grep gcc

which gcc
type (-p or -a) gcc
locate gcc
whereis gcc

if you simply type the command for any old application just to find out if it's installed, you may end up one day waiting for several minutes as some graphically-and-memory-hogging applications loads, particularly if you have an older machine.

Sheesh...mods....

Looks like I don't have gcc.

Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.

To answer your next question (before you ask it), the best way to install gcc is the development packages off the redhat cd. Use the Add/Remove Applications for this.
