command 'yum install gcc' has the following response..
----------------------------------------
[root@localhost judge]# yum install gcc
Loading "installonlyn" plugin

Nothing to do

--------------------------------------
While I tried to create a/c in RHN it did not respond by asking for password of and again despite having given true password...Isn't there any other way to have gcc ?

If you are paying for support, call redhat

Looks like he hasn't registered his version of Red Hat and he has no repositories set-up either... would be my guess it didn't work because he isn't actually scanning any repositories... could be wrong tho... registering his version of Red Hat may actually help

This is the message:

Thank you for the respense...I did 'yum install gcc', but it had response that you are not RHN registered person so I down loaded gcc from private source in tar.gz2 formate and tried to instal it but faq had it that some command will have to be given. Folowing are the commands...

sed -i 's/install_to_$(INSTALL_DEST) //' libiberty/Makefile.in &&
sed -i 's@\./fixinc\.sh@-c true@' gcc/Makefile.in &&
mkdir ../gcc-build &&
cd ../gcc-build &&
../gcc-4.0.3/configure \
--prefix=/usr \
--libexecdir=/usr/lib \
--enable-shared \
--enable-threads=posix \
--enable-__cxa_atexit \
--enable-clocale=gnu \
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc,f95,ada,java,treelang &&
make bootstrap &&
make -k check &&
../gcc-4.0.3/contrib/test_summary

Now I want to know as to how to execute above commands.

Looks to me like the faq gave you the commands - execute them from a terminal session. I can't say if they need to be executed as root or not - I'd try as your normal user until you get permision problems.

Either get your system registered with RH if you have paid for it, or go with the free version (Centos).
It'll be easier and you'll be able to get updates.
