gcc compiler help












0














i have already installed gcc and its found in path(gcc: /usr/lib/gcc /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz).
But when i want to use the gcc it says:
Command 'gcc' not found, but can be installed with: sudo apt install gcc



and i try to install it but still its not working,,output after i install is:
Reading package lists... Done



Building dependency tree



Reading state information... Done



gcc is already the newest version (4:7.3.0-3ubuntu2.1).



0 to upgrade, 0 to newly install, 0 to remove and 8 not to upgrade.
if anybody know this please help



forexample If I run this command; gcc --version its output is



Command 'gcc' not found, but can be installed with:
sudo apt install gcc
why does this happen,since i have seen gcc in the path:
gcc: /usr/lib/gcc /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz

    /usr/lib/gcc is not on the executable search PATH - it sounds like you've broken the symbolic link /usr/bin/gcc (which should point to the default version for your system - such as gcc-7)

  • fyi: my whereis gcc reports "gcc: /usr/bin/gcc /usr/lib/gcc /usr/share/man/man1/gcc.1.gz" (/usr/bin/ being in my $PATH), with a file /usr/bin/gcc reporting "/usr/bin/gcc: symbolic link to gcc-8" as @steeldriver indicated (my /usr/lib/gcc is a directory (of directories))

  • If it is a missing symlink, then it may be sufficient to reinstall the package: sudo apt-get install --reinstall gcc
