installing gnu gcc

[Markus Ray <devilishlymarkus@netscape.net>]

Hi,

I am new to Debian and I wanted to install GNU GCC on my OS.  It says in
the guide "when configuring a native system, either cc or gcc must be
in your path or you must set CC in your environment before running configure.
Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail. "  The question is, how
do I put "cc or gcc" in my path or set CC in my enveronment?

Thanks.
