GCC doesn't seem to be installed on my RHEL 6.1 machine. Also, when I did:

sudo yum install gcc

It barfed:

Updating Red Hat repositories. Setting up Install Process No package gcc available. Error: Nothing to do

The same command works fine on rhel 5.5. What could be the problem?

sudo yum search gcc

Returns:

libgcc.x86_64 : GCC version 4.4 shared support library libgomp.x86_64 : GCC OpenMP v3.0 shared support library sudo yum grouplist

Returns:

Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager Updating Red Hat repositories. Setting up Group Process Error: No group data available for configured repositories sudo yum repolist

Returns:

Loaded plugins: product-id, subscription-manager Updating Red Hat repositories. repolist: 0 ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/

Returns:

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 67 Nov 28 06:28 redhat.repo -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 529 Apr 27 2011 rhel-source.repo

yum install gcc should work, as you suspect. Maybe you need to subscribe to a specific channel in RHN but this gcc advisory seems to indicate that gcc should be available on all of these channels, and I assume you're already subscribe to at least one of them:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux HPC Node (v. 6)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6)

  • How do i check whether i'm subscribed to any of these? Commented Nov 28, 2011 at 21:32
  • Let me ask this: have your brought a RH subscription? Commented Nov 28, 2011 at 21:43
  • yup. I work in a company and i'm trying to do this in one of their servers Commented Nov 28, 2011 at 21:53
  • @Chader Shivdasani: Can you see the system in your RHN ? For a registered system, "yum repolist all" ran as root should yield, amongst other lines: rhel-x86_64-server-6 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6 for 64-bit x86_64) 6,909 You can also run, as root, "rhn-register", if the system is already registered, then a "This systems appears to be registered with RHN" will show up. If the system isn't registered, you can then do it via rhn_register or rhnreg_ks. Commented Feb 28, 2012 at 19:04
