Can you give us the exact cmd line you are using? If you have a file
called junk.c, the usual way to compile it is:

$ gcc -o bin_file_name junk.c

Now if you are actually typing:

$ gcc junk.c command param1
Then you will get this:
gcc: command: No such file or directory
gcc: param: No such file or directory

because gcc is expecting a list of c files to compile. Apologies if
this is too obvious.

If gcc is the command not found, then you probably don't have it
installed as others have suggested.

Type:
$ rpm -qa | grep gcc
and if you get no output, you don't have it.
