compiling on Redhat 7.2, where's cc?? (newbie)

[snookmz]

g'day all

I just installed 7.2 and can't find a c/cc compiler anywhere on the system or in the RPMS directory on the CD.

has anyone got any idea where i can pick up the rpm for it???

thanks in advance

Hi,

In case the above is not clear enough, the compilers on linux are known as the GNU compiler collection (gcc). See -->

http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html

.

You may have the rpms installed already - the command line to compile is like :

gcc hello.c -o hello (etc. - for c)
g++ hello.c -o hello (etc. - for c++)

Otherwise, like bubak says, you need to get hold of the rpms beginning with 'gcc' and install those. Do the command 'rpm -qa | grep ^gcc' to see if you have any installed already.

Regards

thanks for your help you two,

i need to install the GCC, because for some reason its either not in the standared redhat 7.2 install, or i deselected the package by mistake.. it doesnt' seem to be in the rpm's on the cd's either, but i know where i can get me a copy of it, thanks to you

thanks again, good karma too ya /-------------------------------------
