Help installing gcc

[Charles Christena]

I'm new to Linux, and i'm using Fedora Core 3. I'm trying to install
the latest NVIDIA drivers for my system, but when I do, it says that
it needs to compile something, but gcc is either not installed, or not
in the path. I've searched around the forums to get some help with
this, but I can't find anything that applies, or i'm too new and
stupid to understand what they are talking about..  if you could give
me some instructions i would appreciate it...
