[newbie] Problem with gcc

[Craig Rowan]

I'm using the version of gcc that comes with mandrake 7.2.   I try to compile and it said I it couldn't find some header files (stddef.h and stdarg.h), I got those and then it said it couldn't find crtbegin.o, I got that and now it say t cant find -lgcc.   I stuck now, anyone know what to do?
