I am trying to figure out how to make gcc work, and i am totally new to Linux world.

Here is the situation:

step 1:
# up2date -i gcc

The following packages you requested are already updated:
gcc
--------
so it looks like gcc is istalled

step 2:
# gcc -v
-bash: gcc: command not found
-----------------------------------------------------------

What should i do next?

Thanks!

try

/usr/bin/gcc -v

No luck either:

/usr/bin/gcc -v
-bash: /usr/bin/gcc: No such file or directory

try rpm -q gcc as to make sure its there, which it should be since its not updating

Also ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* if its a cpanel server, and you have compilers turned off sometimes make them non executable.

LAST RESORT:
Could also do up2date -d --get gcc and it will download it to /var/spoo/up2date and you could -Uvh --forice it if its the same version as what shows up in the rpm -q to make sure

]# rpm -Uvh gcc-3.2.3-53.i386.rpm

package gcc-3.2.3-53 is already installed

then:

# /usr/bin/gcc -v
-bash: /usr/bin/gcc: No such file or directory

:confused:

Also ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* if its a cpanel server, and you have compilers turned off sometimes make them non executable.

I missed --force before, and now it worked !

Thanks!
