Welcome to one of the 'quirks' of Mandrake 7.0 ( I presume that is what
flavor you have). If I recall, if you don't select 'Custom', and
'Development' during install, or otherwise explicitly specify to install
the compiler, you don't get it. If you are downloading an *.rpm file,
you should be able to install that no problem, assuming you have all the
dependencies (required files/libraries,etc.) satisfied.
