Re: compiler a compiler?

[The Railroad Crossing <Mark at RRcrossing dot com>]

Well, I downloaded it again, installed it, selected to install 
everything, but still no gcc.  I even did a 'find / -name gcc.exe' (with 
and without the .exe) and it found nothing.  I listed (ls) /usr/bin and 
no gcc or cc was in there.  I must have done something wrong, but I 
can't figure out what.  With a degree in Computer Science, this is so 
emnbarrassing for me...
