The number 1 possibility is that your path does not reference the location of the gcc executable. So do an echo $PATH (as root, logged in as the root user or via su - (with dash -)).. The $PATH is a list of directories that will be searched for executable programs. ok do a which gcc? does anything get returned? If not (or gcc -v does not work as root). do a slocate -u and then locate gcc (or a cd / ; find ./ -name "gcc"). If gcc is on your system like in /usr/whatever/sbin/gcc you can add it to your path. PATH=$PATH:/usr/whatever/sbin Keep in mind any executable files in that directory will be executed. (this wont survive a reboot). If gcc is not on your system. Then you need to either install it or reinstall it. apt-file search filename apt-file search /path/to/file quote " http://superuser.com/questions/10997/find-what-package-a-file-belongs-to-in-ubuntu-debian"; once you know the package. apt-get install --reinstall packagename Good luck.
