You don't say what OS you are running on other than "unix", so I can't be more specific than this, but your OS should have a package management system or something along those lines that can install gcc and it's dependencies for you.

For example, on CentOS, or other RedHat variants, you could do

Code:
# yum install gcc

or

Code:
# yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

but it's going to be different commands to do more or less the same thing on different OSs.

Generally speaking, installing your vendor supplied gcc and other tools is a better path than trying to bootstrap and compile gcc itself.

debuginfo-install

debuginfo-install(1)													      debuginfo-install(1)

NAME

       debuginfo-install - install debuginfo packages and their dependencies

SYNOPSIS

       debuginfo-install package

DESCRIPTION

       debuginfo-install  is a program which installs the RPMs needed to debug the specified package.  The package argument can be a wildcard, but
       will only match installed packages.  debuginfo-install will then enable any debuginfo repositories, and install the relevant debuginfo rpm.

EXAMPLES

       Download and install all the RPMs needed to debug the kernel RPM:
	      debuginfo-install kernel

WARNING MESSAGES

       Could not find debuginfo for:
	      You may sometimes see warning messages about certain packages not being found if you run debuginfo-install for a wildcard  or  glob.
	      Debuginfo  packages are not necessary for "noarch" RPMs; these will generate a warning message.  Additionally, On 64-bit systems, no
	      multilib debuginfo packages are published, so if you have 32-bit packages installed, these will also generate warning messages.

FILES

       As debuginfo-install uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM configuration  for	its  default  values  like
       which repositories to use. Consult YUM documentation for details:

       /etc/yum.conf
       /etc/yum/repos.d/
       /var/cache/yum/

SEE ALSO

       yum.conf (5)

       http://yum.baseurl.org/

AUTHORS

       See the Authors file included with this program.

BUGS

       There  are  of  course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if
       unsuccessful in finding a resolution contact the mailing list: yum-devel@lists.baseurl.org.  To file a bug  use	http://bugzilla.redhat.com
       for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
