Can't help you here, but I have seen this error before. The weird part is that when I reinstalled the system emacs worked. > I also installed gcc from the packages and compiled a test program.

Make sure it is in your path ("echo $PATH"). Or cd to the directory where it is and try "./a.out". > I also wanted to install XWindows.
