Hi,

when I get it right you try to start gcc from the shell.
First, find the program:
(as root)

find / -name gcc

I assume it sits somewhere in /usr/bin
Check if that directory is within the path

echo $PATH

If it is, it should run, if not, add the path

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin

You might want to add this path to your .bash_profile file in your home directory (hidden).

If a module is not found, check if it is installed:
for gcc this is

yum list installed gcc

My second thought is that you want to call a program from C - in that case use the full path in the command line.
