I suggest you use 'find' to learn what is actually in your computer:
% find /usr -name gcc\* -print
(repeat for "g++", "ar", "rn", "as" - other related programs)
If these show up, make sure their directory is in your PATH environment
variable.
If not, try a search from "/bin" instead of "/usr".
If still nothing, get out your installation CD and add packages like
"development" and any suggested development libraries, headers, and
perhaps sources. You may not have installed the development packages.
You don't need anything like "kernel sources" to do this -- if you're
getting started, start with an intro book and do examples and exercises.
