It should be installed. Type the following.


gcc -dumpversion

If not installed or you need a more current version then type


apt-get install gcc

Don't forget to make sure you have installed the package 'build-essential', otherwise you'll have a job getting anything to compile as most of the standard headers etc will be missing.
