I have sort of the same issue. I did access the RPM files and reinstall it.
They put the compiler in the /usr/ area. You will see a subdir for i586,
i486, and i386. My problem, even after installing the RPM files, I still
get the "gcc c complier can not make executable." error message. Even after
manually putting these directory structurs in the LD_LIBARY_PATH and PATH
environment. At least now it is not giving me "can not locate crt1.0"
error. Now it is erroring out on a include file, which has nothing in it. I
am told if you do not select the "developer" option when installing Linux,
then the system is not setup correctly to compile. That does not make much
sence, but figure I will spend about 4 hours tonight proving that theory.
Hope that helps some.
Dave

Subject: [newbie] GCC is missing....grrrr
I am wondering why every time I attempt to compile something I continue to
get errrors about my gcc or cc is missing. I am guessing this is my C
compiler....I don't get it....where the hell is it? IF I do a locate I
come
up with zilch! Nothing is out there...help..
I am downloading gcc but I wonder if I can even install that without a
compiler. :(
Horribly frustrated tech..
