First, I'd make sure that you don't have gcc. Query the rpm database with...

$>rpm -q gcc

...if it's not there, it will answer with...

package gcc is not installed

Then you'll have to either get the rpm from the CD or you can download it
here.

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/9/en/os/i386/RedHat/RPMS/gcc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm

...after you download it, su to root and type....

#>rpm -i gcc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm
         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(Or whatever the file name is.)

If gcc is there, it will answer with something like...

gcc-3.2-7

If it's there, but apache's configure isn't picking it up, make sure the
script is looking in the right path. To find the path, just type...

$>which gcc

or

$>whereis gcc

...and make sure the path in the script follows such. If it gives you any
grief after all that, make sure the script is happy with the version
you're using.
