Newbie here...

I am trying to MAKE and INSTALL for the first time. MAKE is asking for cc but I only have gcc. Is it a direct replacement?

Can I use EXPORT to fool it to use gcc?

Thankyou for your time

You can most likely modify the Makefile, telling it to use gcc. Some (most?) makefiles will have a "CC" variable near the beginning of the file, where you can change it to "CC=gcc". If this doesn't work you might try running make like this: "CC=gcc make".
Still another option is to create a symlink called cc, pointed to gcc.
