Redhat issue: "bash:gcc command not found"

akshit · 02-14-2013, 06:33 AM

I have been trying to compile my c program on redhat 6 installed with VMWARE app on my win7.
When i tried gcc filename.c
it barfed:
bash:gcc command not found
Is something wrong with the installation packages?

Did you check if gcc package is there? Also share output of following:-

Code:

~$ which gcc
~$ echo $PATH
~$ find / -name "gcc" -print

If gcc not found, try:-

Code:

~$ sudo yum install gcc

Better : 1) su

2) yum install gcc-c++
I.e. by installing gcc-c++, the packages required for gcc to function,
will also be installed. ( glibc-devel glibc-headers kernel-headers ).
