gcc error finding 'cc1' file

I am using DELL Precision-M2800 with Ubunto installed. gcc is also installed. I ran a simple c program:

#include<stdio.h>
main(){ printf("Hello world!\n"); }

$ gcc test.c
and get:
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory

I tried:
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
with same result.

I searched LQ and found several threads with same problem but no solutions. Dating back several years. As gcc has worked for me on very sophisticated c programs running Red Hat 9 and lately Puppy-Precise I am asking how to fix this problem with Ubuntu gcc.

Thanks,
djohan

there is no ubuntu gcc, but anyway you need to force reinstall c compiler.

Your file test.c

Code:

#include<stdio.h>

main(){ printf("Hello world!\n"); }

... works OK here : With gcc-4.9 . The executable result replies "Hello world!".

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential
.. will install g++ and gcc .
If Ubuntu 16.04, you will get gcc-5
http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/gcc-5
... and the Ubuntu patched gcc-5 (5.3.1) may fail with some programs?
Please try : 1) $ sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9
2) $ gcc-4.9 test.c

so you installed nothing, and tried a non-existent app to run. Trusty has only gcc-4.8, so you need to install either gcc or gcc-4.8. Try: apt-get --reinstall install gcc

What version of ubuntu are you using ?????

also post the output of this

Code:

gcc -v

this is just a basic "hello world "

HOWEVER
if you only ran

Code:

gcc test.c

then all you will get is a "a.out"

use this

Code:

gcc -o test test.c



./test

Seems like an old ubuntu bug (a wrong locale setting problem)

Response to two commands follows:
Ubuntu was provided Precision-M2800 by DELL.
Version (I believe) is 14.04.1 LTS. I don't
know how to qwery for version #.

Maybe an architecture problem? Could you post output with:

Code:

gcc -print-prog-name=cc1

Code:

uname -a

non standard characters can cause problems sometimes

you might want to remove the "$" from the name of the folder

Thanks Here is output. The $ is not part of the folder. Looks to be
provided by terminal prompt.

Thanks for the outputs, so gcc doesn't find cc1 indeed...
I notice your gcc appears to search files in /usr/local, while its install prefix is /usr from gcc -v output, I don't know if it's relevant.

Could you perform a file search to find if there is a cc1 somewhere in your system?

Edit: search could be shorten with:

Code:

ls /usr/lib/gcc/*/*/cc1

ls /usr/local/lib/gcc/*/*/cc1

Thanks keefaz- here is output.
Looks like it's there.
I could copy it, but to where?
Don
