This depends on your platform, and your needs. If you are using
windows, I suggest you check out www.cygwin.com or www.mingw.org .
Under Linux, Free/Open/Net/BSD,  gcc usually comes as a pre-installed
or optionally installed package, though the version provided is likely
2.95.3 or some such, not as new as 3.2.1 (lastest version of gcc).

If you are using MacOS X - I don't know - google apple's site for gcc,
I guess.
