What distribution are you using? What you're actually seeing are the
libraries that support the compiler, but not the compiler itself, as it
would be located, based upon the location of the libraries, in /usr/bin,
so you will need to install the compiler itself.

I'm trying to install GNUChess and xboard into my Xandros desktop. I
downloaded gnuchess-5.05.tar.gz and xboard-4.2.7.tar.gz. I used tar
-xvvzf on xboard... to untar and gunzip it. So far, so good.
The Install README told me to cd to xboard-4.2.7 and to do ./configure.
And I get:
bob@Pooh-at-Home:~/xboard-4.2.7$ ./configure
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.
So far as I can tell there is no "config.log" file. (There is a _very_
long list of other "config" files.)
$PATH gives me:
bash: /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games: No such file
or directory
Locate gcc gives me:
/usr/include/linux/compiler-gcc2.h
/usr/include/linux/compiler-gcc3.h
/usr/include/linux/compiler-gcc.h
/usr/include/linux/compiler-gcc+.h
/usr/lib/gcc-lib
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.4
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/3.3.4/cc1
/usr/lib/libstlport_gcc.so.4.6
.... etc,etc.
The above makes me think gcc _is_ installed. How do I get it included
in the $PATH statement so that ./configure can find it? Or should should
the gcc binaries be in one or more of the /bin directories?
Confused (my normal state regarding Linux.)
