what happens when you use the command you said ?
you can't just say it doesn't work, cause we need to know errors, etc ... to help you
resolve this ..

something like invalid command or gcc command not exist.

well then you have to install the gcc package

but to double check you can see if you do have it :
ls -alc /usr/bin/gcc*

gcc is included in the download version of Mandrake 9.2. You can go to install new software and search for it and all the libraries that you need and install them. If you can't find the particular lib that you need to can always do a google search for it.

and gcc compiles your source code and makes your executable file ..
gcc test.c
will output a file called a.out
gcc test.c -o test
will output a file called test

a.out and test would both be the executables in these examples ...
if you actually think of what you asked, then you would already have had your answer ..
do you think you were going to actually download a compiler that doesn't compile your programs ?
