gcc on Lubuntu not working

I am trying to use the gcc on Lubuntu.

I have done the following installs but get the message "The program 'gcc' can be found in the following packages"

sudo apt-get install gcc

sudo apt-get install build-essential

What I am doing wrong, is there a way I can verify the gcc was correctly installed?

I bet its not in your path variable

env | grep path

If that doesn't work you need to add the location of gcc to your path environment variable by the looks of it.

To find gcc try:

find . -name gcc

Then to add to path

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/gcc
echo $PATH;

If that fails, try this guide it may be an issue with your calls to apt-get https://askubuntu.com/questions/240919/how-to-install-gcc-4-7-on-lubuntu-11-10
