How to get GCC on Debian
Posted on 2013-10-26
I did:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
Then I did:
whereis gcc make
The output was: /usr/lib/gcc
I then did
cd /usr/lib/gcc
..and tried:
gcc -lX11 prog.c -o prog ./prog.c
And the output was;
Bash: gcc command not found
Please help. I just want to get to the point that I can compile c code (for X).
Thanks,
Amy

i think your installation is not complete. if it succeed, you should have have /usr/bin/gcc and other directories as well (in whereis result).
verify installation with gcc -v on command line. it should show you version. if you got "gcc command not found", you should try to install it again and check logs during installation to find problem.
