I never answered this question.
Let us assume that gcc is at /usr/bin/gcc. To be in your path, the path
must contain /usr/bin, as does the following example:
$ echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin:.
Since /usr/bin is in the standard path, and that is where gcc
belongs,there is no need to do anything further.
To set an environment variable, do (for example):
$ export CC=gcc
There must be no spaces around the = sign.
This kind of thing is explained in great detail in the bash man page or
in books on shell programming.
