gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1'

edit

I had the same issue trying to compile things in the 'fish' shell. Running bash and repeating the make command made it work correctly. I haven't figured out exactly why this is, but I've gotten used to getting weird results when not running bash.

In fish the output of gcc -print-prog-name=cc1 is just cc1

in bash it's

/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/cc1

Hi:

cc1 is included in cpp

[casep@t400 ~]$ rpm -ql cpp
/usr/bin/cpp
/usr/lib/cpp
/usr/libexec/gcc
/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux
/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/5.1.1
/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/5.1.1/cc1

You need to have cpp installed (should be installed at the same time as gcc in a normal dnf installation...)
