[PLUG] Can't get gcc to compile...

[Patrick J. Timlick]

I can think of 2 things that might be wrong:

1) no gcc; check by typing gcc in a command line
2) permissions on install directory are incorrect check by 'cd'ing to your
install directory, and typing "touch x" .  You should get no errors.

Let us know the results.
