Installing gcc - newbie question

[Steve Brooks]

Hi - I'm trying to install GCC on a SUSE 10.2 open source linux machine
(just learning everything) and am trying to get the configure command to
work.  I know the instructions say: "Second, when configuring a native
system, either cc or gcc must be in your path or you must set CC in your
environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration scripts
may fail."  and since I can't figure out how to do this, it does indeed
fail.  Can someone tell me how to get cc or gcc on the system before I
install it (I did unzip the files to a directory...).

Cheers,
