Getting gcc to work
HI all,
I really need some help here... I was not sure I had gcc installed with my LInux. So I tried rpm -qa | grep gcc and it gave me: libgcc-3.2.2-5 So I am assuming I have gcc3.2.2 installed, right ? When I try to look for it using : locate */gcc , I get : locate: No match. ls -l /usr/bin/gcc , I get : ls: /usr/bin/gcc: No such file or directory find / -name gcc , I get : find: /lost+found: Permission denied find: /boot/lost+found: Permission denied find: /proc/1/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/2/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/3/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/8/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/4/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/5/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/6/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/7/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/9/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/10/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/14/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/72/fd: Permission denied find: /proc/1717/fd: Permission denied ..... I know I have to change permissions, If you can please tell me how and for what exactely. But , I am not even sure I have gcc because of what I get when I do: locate*/gcc Also I do not have it in the $PATH When I do echo $PATH , I get : /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin When I vi .bashrc , I get: # .bashrc # User specific aliases and functions # Source global definitions if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi Please also tell me how to add gcc to the PATH and whether I need any modification in .bashrc Please help. Thanks |
libgcc just means you have the libraries - not the executable.

What distro/package manager do you use?

When I use the command : cat /proc/version I get
Linux version 2.4.20-6 (bhcompile@porky.devel.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2.2 20030222 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.2-5)) #1 Thu Feb 27 10:06:59 EST 2003 But when I try to get the version of the gcc i have. Iget gcc: command not found. Can only the gcc libraries be installed with Linuc and not the gcc itself? Thanks |
Perhaps telling us what distribution you are running would be of help.
Can you find /usr/bin/gcc (where it installs on both my systems)? Is /usr/bin in root's or the user's path? |
I have been trying to install gcc from scratch but I ran into different other problem.
I have Linux 9.0. I thought it just comes with gcc. I cannot find it. I looked in /usr/bin and gcc ins't there. I have trying to install it from scratch but I am running into different problems. If it is only there and it is a matter of finding it and setting paths, please let me know. I need help. thanks |
Apparently you didn't use the expert install and didn't select the developmetal packages and I can't remember the software tool Red Hat 9.0 uses.
Try this command and see what happens: yum install gcc If that doesn't work, or the commands listed below don't help, I suggest installing apt4rpm for a software manager. # Red Hat & Fedora links FedoraNEWS.ORG Red Hat 9 Rescue Mode The Fedora HOWTO explains the different software managers.

When I installed redhat, I selected the default option that was recommanded. Can I use the cd to install more packages or isit going to override what I have installed now?
I tried "yum install gcc" and I got : yum: Command not found I noticed that for most common commands, even for export I get command not found. Is it something with the shell. I am going to try to install the apt4rpm I will let you know |
If it's a fresh install, I would re-install using the expert method. You could probably just do upgrade using custom.
Make sure you install kernel-development, kernel-sources and developmental packages. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/l...stallpath.html |

redhat has a graphical package add/remove tool, not sure what its called, but its probably in your default kde/gnome desktop menus. you can use that to easily install gcc from your install disks.
iirc there is a section called "development tools" or something similar, in the graphical add/remove window - gcc is definitely on the default install disks, so look around in that section. |
if you boot from the CD, you will be asked if you want to make a fresh istallation or update your existing system
|
Yeah I went to add/remove packages in my gnome menu. YOu guys are right, I didn't install teh development tool package nor kernel development. But I don't see the kernel source package.
I am going to installl them from the disc now. I just have one more question. I am going to need lex or flex. Does it usually come with the developmental package? I really appreciate all your help. Thanks a lot |
Doing a Google search gives these Google hits for lex and flex, so it looks as if they are included in the kernel.
If you need to compile a custom kernel or modules for it (nvidia, winmodem, etc), check under /usr/src and see if there is a directrory named linux-<version number> and a symbolic link named linux that points there. If it is missing you need to install it. The name of the package is kernel-source-<version number and possibly arch here>.rpm. It can be installed from CD or internet (approx 40 megabytes) |
