gcc is not responding

[Rudra Banerjee]

dear friends,
i am rewriting this because my earlier post misses some information, and includes the post from other people.
 
due to some unknown reason, i cant invoke gcc from my account. its not
really troublling the machine, but if I invoke gcc/g++/ifort to compile
any program(though gfortran is working fine), its not doing anything.
gcc is specially making the terminal inactive. here is ps -aux output
of gcc -v.

Linux xxx.lan.yyy.res.in 2.6.23.1-42.fc8 #1 SMP Tue Oct 30 13:55:12 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

my gcc version 4.1.2 20070925
