Why is gcc missing from </usr/sfw/bin>
Hi All: Does anyone know why gcc would be missing from /usr/sfw/bin? Has it been replaced by another file in below directory? .... Do you think admins may have deleted it from here?

More importantly, is there anything else I can use in here as an alternative for a C program compilation?
(gmake is not useful as it will need a c compiler, and CC doesn't work as I get: "/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed".


Code:

They might have moved, removed or renamed it or just have not installed the gcc package.

Why aren't you asking them directly ?

I would search for it if I were you, maybe it is lying somewhere else, who knows, I am a novice but I am trying my best to lend a hand. You can try

Code:
find / -name gcc -print

And please don't forget to tell me if it worked!

Shit, that's was my very first attempt to solve someone's problem on this forum, sorry mate, that was all that I could do. I myself have some problems with my gcc. It is located in /usr/sfw/bin/gcc, but when I try to a compile a c++ hello program, it doesn't compile, giving several errors.
Here is my program, maybe you can lend a hand now.
Code:
 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
         cout << "Hello, world!\n";
         return 0;
}

I compile it like this

Code:
 
$ /usr/sfw/bin/gcc hello.cpp -o hello

But it fails!

That's not surprising at all. Compiling a C++ source with a C compiler cannot but fail. Only the opposite might work.
