GCC (the GNU Compiler Collection) is required if you try to install software from source, which should rarely be the case on an enterprise platform such as RHEL. A simpler way would be to use yum to install the vsftpd package.
Do you have a subscription with Red Hat? If not, you won't have the required update channel available, and will have to try and install from the installation media using either yum or rpm.
# yum list vsftpd
Loading "security" plugin
Error: No matching Packages to list
I understand i have not yet got subscription from redhat but the error message is so dump that it doesnt indicate of subscription.Yet it makes you think there are no packages available .
Can any 1 put light on this ?
what is the purpose of such error messages .
Simple: yum doesn't care about any subscription, as you can configure alternative update channels. It just can't see the contents of the official Red Hat repositories and thinks they are empty.
From my point of view you've got 2 options:
Get an official subscription
Move to an non-subscription based distribution. CentOS, for example, is built from the same sources as RHEL, using the same settings. The only difference is that any Red Hat specific payable software isn't available, and you don't have guaranteed support.
Should you go for option 'b', there's a Migration Guide on the CentOS wiki.

I was informed that one should have a strong c programming background in order to do a proper compile of GCC. I am of the opinion that having such a background would be helpful but not entirely necessary.
