Gcc problem

[Paul Mitchell <pmitchel@email.unc.edu>]

Folks,
 I'm a real newbie with Linux, and I've just been assigned to work on a
set of Opterons for a Beowulf cluster.  I've used gcc on the solaris boxes
(and Xserves for that mattera) without a problem, but I'm stuck on the
linux machines.

What am I doing wrong? This occurs on any opteron, and the login baobab
(out Beowulf cluster name) node:

ipm add gcc

Of course, anyone else in the place doesn't have this problem...

Any answers will be appreciated,
