This may be a very dumb question, but I just can't seem to figure it
out on my own. I recently installed Mandrake 8.0, and I had everything
installed except the server stuff. Now I want to try out gcc and gnat
(GNU Ada), but I can't find them. gcc is not in my path, and neither
is gnat (is that the name of the executable?). Would someone please
give me a clue as to where these compilers are located? And why
weren't they included in my default path?

BTW, where is a user suppose to find out about this stuff? I tried the
online help, but as usual it didn't help. Also, I'd appreciate an
email with the answer because I am using google groups and the update
rate has to be expressed in geological time. Thanks.

Perhaps those compilers aren't installed on your system? (~$ is
the prompt
~$ rpm -q gcc
~$ rpm -q egcs
~$ rpm -q gnat
).

I just has the same problem with g++ in Mandrake 7.0. I sorted it by
going into the Package Manager, searching for packages containing g++
and installing them. I also had to install the packages containing
iostream.h and libio.h (the C++ libraries).

Worked like a charm.

HTH,
