It is probably because you don't have the path to the libraries.
open up /etc/ld.so.conf with an editor and add something like /usr/lib , /usr/local/lib or wherever the libraries are at for your distro then
type ldconfig at the console

Hope I am right

To add gcc to your PATH, find it (find / -name gcc*), and add it's containing directory to your shell PATH in /etc/profile

You could also just type whereis gcc. Make sure the indicated library is in your path.
