This question has come up a lot. Since fedora uses yum (if I remember right), you might want to look at this thread:

Basically, if you don't have the gcc compiler, which you can check by running "which gcc" and if it comes back with nothing then you don't have it. Then you will need to install using yum or one of the graphical versions of yum for package installing.
