Installing GCC

Geminias · 01-03-2006, 04:10 PM

hey friends,

i need help installing gcc to my system. (FC4) (well actually i need help installing most things)

i ran this so far:

Code:

sudo yum install compat-gcc-32

i thought this would install gcc. I run a whereis gcc and i get a directory but no executable gcc. So either its not installed or i can't find where it is to add it to environment variables.

can someone help me?

what exactly are you trying to do? I believe gcc is installed by default with fedora

i thought so too. I'm a c++ programmer who predominantly has (till now) resided in windows. My need to understand the linux filesystem is dire, but some basic things like how would i go about finding gcc if its already installed will just have to come first.

how would YOU go about finding gcc if you thought it was installed?

no man entry for gcc. i guess thats a quick way to determine if its installed? So its not installed... can anyone help me get it.

i need a c++ compiler for FC4... lol thats the objective.
