You'll need the gcc-*.rpm files installed. You've got quite a lot of supporting stuff installed but I don't see a package that would include the compilers. To verify this, do: Find /usr -name 'gcc' -print And see if gcc is found, I bet it isn't. If it is (or once you get the correct RPM installed) make sure the directory where it's found is in your PATH. Also make sure that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes the lib directory. So for instance on a standard system, gcc in in /usr so your path should be: PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib export LD_LIBRARY_PATH On my system I keep gcc in /usr/local/gnu/gcc-400 so my stuff is: PATH=$PATH=/usr/local/gnu/gcc-400/bin export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/gcc/gcc-400/lib export LD_LIBRARYPATH That should get you going. -brian Brian D.

My OS is fedora 3. I download and installed following rpms successfully. But when I use gcc xxx.c the OS prompt "-bash: gcc: command not found". Any idea why this could happen?
