Test if it''s installed with
ls -l /usr/bin/gcc
or
rpm -qf /usr/bin/gcc

You can install it with
sudo yum -y gcc

peacepanda:

I think Leigh had it right, what is the problem when you did the yum install gcc ?

If you just want the sledge hammer approach and put in the group of the tools and compiler and libraries in general you can do this:

su -
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"

I usually do that because gcc and building stuff usually requires tons of other tools: bison, make, gdb, automake, etc
so the group install just gets it over with
