Getting SoundBlaster Extigy to work under RedHat 9

[discreet]

Hello, Ive tried follow the instructions off of http://www.cs.umass.edu/~cochran/ and also did a search on this forum for extigy but so far Im getting nowhere trying to install the tarball for the USB Extigy soundcard. There was a thread here with a solution I tried, http://justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=95685&highlight=extigy but with no luck. I just updated the kernel through RedHat's up2date to 2.4.20-9. This is the error message I get:

gcc -I/usr/src/src/linux-2.4.20-9/include -D__KERNEL__ -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -march=i586 -DMODULE -c -o audiofunc.o audiofunc.c
make: gcc: Command not found
make: *** [audiofunc.o] Error 127

any help would be appreciated, this is like the only problem thats keeping me from completely migrating to Linux.

seems to indicate that you do not have gcc installed, it is called something else or it is not in your PATH.

look in the /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin directory for a gcc. It might have some stuff after it like gcc-2.95.3 or gcc-3.2.2 . Just make a symbolic link from the gcc-whatever to gcc.
ln -s gcc-whatever gcc

If there is gcc in one of those directories, make sure the directories are in your PATH.

if you don't see any gcc, then you will have to install them.
