Usually it's because you don't have all neded libraries installed. Post an example error, this will allow people here to help you.

GCC is a GNU C Compiler. It'a a program you need to compile other programs. Of course, there are more compilers, but gcc is the most popular one in Linux.

Look above. GCC can compile not only C, there's also G++ included (C++ compiler). All is in one package (sometimes in distros it gets divided).
A library. Very popular. Included in all distros.

I'm not sure. Can anyone help?
A library. Basic system library. Can be found in /lib directory of your system (usually it's a symlink to libc-x.x.x.so file).
