where is my gcc

[fengsha]

I installed suse 11.1, and I can't found the gcc for C coding.
When I used YaST, it said that I have installed gcc.

However, I cannot find it. Is the Mono Development environment
for gcc??

Thanks

gcc is a terminal compiler, ie it does not have by default an interface and is called from the terminal, mostly by Makefiles. Gcc is located in /usr/bin/gcc and there's also a symlink to it in /usr/bin called 'cc'

you don't code in gcc, you compile code with it

Mono is a open source implementation of C# and .NET and it has its own compiler

Thanks you very much.

i _guess_ you are a hacker/coder who is trying out this side...welcome..

if you haven't yet, suggest you open YaST and go

Software > Software Management then flip the 'Filter' (at the top)
from "Search" to "Patterns", scroll the new left side pane down to the
"Development" section and place a check mark next to "Base
Development" and all you think you _need_, then hit "Accept"

but, if in the future, you want to see if some package is installed on your computer, like gcc, you can use this command in terminal:

rpm -qa | grep PACKAGE [rpm -qa | grep gcc]

or

whereis COMMAND [whereis gcc]

the first command will return the name of package if they are installed, the second will return the location on your system for some command that you need to use.
