finding a file in redhat
 

I am trying to learn the use the "FIND" command and trying to find the gcc/c++ compiler....how do I do that?

Why don't you use slocate, it is faster, easier.

If you really love find, try that

you can use "whereis" to look for program files and related stuff in standard locations

may give the required path, If it is already in ur Path

which gcc is the fastest way to do it, followed by
locate gcc followed by
find / -name gcc

:D Anyways if you dont bother so much
then its usually
/usr/bin/gcc or
/bin/gcc

Cheers
