And I would ask: "Is gcc on your path?"  For example, on my system, which
has gcc installed, the response to "type gcc" is "/usr/bin/gcc".  If I
do "type xxx" (some non-existent program) I get "xxx: not found".

Sounds to me like you may need to set up your PATH variable ...

If you're going to be using cygwin, then this should be a somewhat
familiar concept.  One typical place to set it up is in your
.bash_profile file in your HOME directory (mine is /home/moss in
the cygwin tree).
