I want to know if I have gcc installed or not. I tried this:
[root@212 ~]# which gcc
/usr/bin/which: no gcc in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin)
[root@212 ~]# gcc v-
bash: gcc: command not found...
@fergatron answer is a good one but it can be improved a little bit by removing the -a option from the rpm command.
Using just -q
rpm -q gcc
gcc-4.7.2-2.fc17.x86_64
rpm -q fake-gcc
package fake-gcc is not installed
will give you the full package name if it is installed and "package package-name is not installed" if it is not.
Just run the following command in a terminal window:
$ gcc --version
The message command not found means you don't have gcc installed.
Entering the following in the commandline as root will show information about the package for gcc. The line "Repo :" will show either a repository or as installed.
You can try:
rpm -qa gcc
or
yum install gcc
...and see what it says.
while i enter "yum install gcc" it shows "you need to be root to perform this action." How can i root ???
yum list installed gcc* will show a list of installed gcc packages if any.
yum list gcc* will show a list of available gcc packages, followed by a list of any that might be installed.
