How could i find c compilers? help me!

Probably you either don't have a C compiler installed or there is one installed, but it's not in your path.





Figure out where your C compiler is located using whereis or locate command. If you found one add its path to your existing PATH environment variable.

You can set the path using
setenv PATH $PATH:/path/to/cc
or
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/cc


It depends on what shell your using.

Yu can use "smitty" to check to see what
you have installed. You can check for *gnu*
(for gcc and g++) or ibmcxx* (for the IBM C/C++
compiler) and this should list any installed
packages. It is also possible to install gnu
software "manually" (not using SMIT) and in this
case, your best bet is to use "find".

as a rule of thumb when compileing GNU software. use gcc. (this utility for most people is a standard download and install)

as suggested above just find your compiler and add it to your path. to find out what your path is set to currently:

#echo $PATH
